    It was a statement that needs about as much reasoning and evidence to back it up as "witches float".

    FTFY.

    Calling something flamebait is literally saying it offends you.

    It now means that some hypothetical entity might potentially be offended by it.

    Did you try shouting? That's what you're supposed to do when foreigners don't understand, isn't it?

  8. If they (the owning classes) need trained & educated labour to do the things that robots can't they'll just bring them in from somewhere else.

    Nah, that's just crazy talk.

    Their logic, and it's stretching the definition of the word, is along these lines:

    Normal person: Men are generally taller than women.

    SJW: What, like Danny DeVito and Michelle Obama?

    Then something gets designed that's unusable because anthropometry is fundamentally racist, because it just is.

    Actually, while I agree with you in principle, the "value" in "something of value" isn't value-to-you, it's value-to-others. That is to say it needs to be something that you could, in theory, sell/transfer/profit-from or otherwise be able to spend.

    Twaddle. Say I'm a hotel worker and I "live in". I get lodgings & food provided. I can't very well go to the boss and say that I've sublet my room while I'm on holiday.

    Yet it's still of value to me, because it's stuff I'd have to pay for myself out of my own pocket otherwise.

    You own the house you live in and get taxed for the rent you safe by not paying it to yourself?

    You've never heard of imputed rent? It's not that common but some countries do indeed have it.

  25. When you decide to pay a university staffer (a "graduate student") with fake money so they can avoid paying taxes on their income, you're just asking someone else - maybe, a landscaper in Pennsylvania, or a woman in Florida who's struggling to grow her restaurant business, to pay it for them.

    Well it's more likely to be a millionaire's brat. Oh wait, they fixed that. Good thing too, we wouldn't want to disincentivise people from choosing the right parents.
