First of all, fatalities aren't the only accidents. Secondly, you don't have to drive them a hundred million miles to get a statistically significant sample. Thirdly, it's not just trucking companies, but their insurance carriers and all of their customers who will want to see this legislation.
The government isn't going to let fully automated trucks run around with nobody to watch them any time soon,
I give it a couple of years, tops. Once the data are in showing a significantly lower accident rate than human drivers, those rules requiring a human on board will look like the rule about all cars having to be preceded by a man on foot carrying a red flag.
high school graduates who have been coasting through life thinking their whiteness entitles them to a middle class lifestyle are toast. The number of jobs they're intellectually capable of performing is set to dwindle.
I can say the same thing about anyone with a (whatever) "studies" degree. Making coffee's pretty easy to automate.
Power generation isn't the only use for coal. If you don't want coal, then steel production can be done just as well in the USA, Brazil, China, Japan, and Korea.
I see an obvious side effect: with coal not being used for power generation due to political pressure, its price will fall, and so will the cost of steel production.
They're still selling, but not enough to compete for scarce engineering time with other products. The same guys who work on the AirPort could also be working on the WiFi in the phones, iPads and Macs, and it's not a hard business decision to put them on the higher-revenue products.
Well, now that you've impressed everyone with your technical prowess, perhaps you can explain what a consumer should do to get a Wi-Fi connection in their home?
you are saying that because Obama isn't going to pardon Snowden, he is phoning it in?
You're reversing the cause and effect. Obama isn't going to pardon Snowden, because he simply doesn't care enough to do the right thing for a man who has done far more for our country than Obama ever will.
I really pity anyone who ever expected more from the Teleprompter-in-chief. How long was it between the time he was sworn in and the next time the DEA raided a dispensary? How about the first time he signed a bill extending the PATRIOT act?
What if I told you that not everyone fits into one of the two boxes in your tiny little mind? I didn't vote for Trump, and if he's so dangerous, then it was bloody irresponsible of your side of the Ruling Party to nominate the only crook in the country who could LOSE to him.

Yes he did, and Hillary attacked Bernie's supporters. Which of them is stupider?

There are no Drumpf supporters who are not bigots, not stupid, or not misogynist.
Want another Trump term? Just keep on sneering at the people you need to convince to change sides, dumbass.

Her big fuck-up was basing her entire campaign on the premise that anyone who didn't support her already was an idiot/bigot/misogynist/etc.
Attacking your opponent is expected. Attacking your opponent's supporters is bloody stupid.

For month's I've been thinking that Trump could win the election only if the electronic voting machines were hacked.
Or, just maybe, he won because Hillary was such a craptastic candidate that millions of people who voted for Obama didn't bother to show up.
Trump had fewer votes overall than Romney, and Romney was up against the most popular democrat since JFK.
The horse is dead. Flogging it won't help.

It's pretty clear from his actions, especially when he signed a bill extending the PATRIOT act, that he's devoid of a moral compass.

Not so much "again", as "still".

No. No it isn't.
When you take someone else's property or money by force or the threat of force, that's theft. Am I going too fast for you?
If you don't think so, keep off the roads,
What you do with stolen money doesn't change the fact that it was stolen.

Treason has a very specific definition in the US constitution. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, for example, were tried for espionage, not treason.
