Anyhow, it seems too easy to blame Nigeria. Most "Nigerian Princes" were not sending email from Nigeria even. They've been unfairly memeitized. Or is it "memeificated"?
In the workplace, they provide emotional stability, complex problem-solving skills, nuanced thinking, and institutional know-how.
Whether that's true, in the tech halls they DON'T actually want us. They throw us out for the latest naive fad lickers they can find.

Yes, there are exceptions, but I don't wanna hear them; and git off my lawn!

I'm looking at a Galaxy S9 right now that has a decent case/protector on it that does not block the screen.
Granted, if it had a bezel, the case may protect certain parts better under certain angles of accidents, but that's probably a small percent of "hits".
(The S9 has no left- and right-side bezels, only top and bottom. Although, that may depend on how you define "bezel", being the edges are curved.)
[they do it because] Apple is trendy, therefore whatever retarded shit they do must be good and worth copying.
While I hate silly patents, this is one case where I wish a patent got in the way of wider adoption. Same goes for pop-up ads and cross-site cooky tracking.
it's probably much cheaper to house [the mentally ill] in sanatoriums than it is to run around putting out the small fires that arise when you leave them to wander the streets.
Do you mean force them into sanatoriums? The Constitutionality of such is questionable: it's not illegal by itself to be insane*.
The US kind of used to do this, then the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" came out which highlighted the down-sides, and society changed their approach. It's amazing the impact a strong movie can have on society. (The movie may not be a fully accurate portrayal, but it made people think and ask questions.)

Do a great job taking care of the homeless and your city will become a magnet for the homeless of the nation
That already kind of happens because red states both treat homeless poorly and tend to have poor weather. The homeless problem should be handled nationally to avoid such lopsidedness. It's NIMBY-ism on a national scale.
Red areas are pushing the homeless to blue areas, and then saying, "See, you blue guys are mostly slothful socialists who live in boxes. Go Corporatism!" Cheap trick, reddies! Keep in mind, If there is a Jesus, he can read minds and is on to you.
What about an entire bionic eye? It could have zooming so as to check out attractive people from a distance. (There may also be dignified societal benefits, but right now I can only think about how it satisfies basal instincts.)
In the future the input device and screen projection could be done with head implants. Just don't freak people out going around saying, "resistance is futile". Extra un-points if done in a Dalek voice.
Such tech may be pioneered on vision-impaired and RSI patients.
and said 'you have to vote for it before we even let you read it' that really pissed people off.
Changes were being negotiated and made right up to the deadline. That's common with bills. An earlier draft was available to the public. Stop turning everything into a sinister conspiracy.
That more or less sounds like "copy Europe". GOP has never been too keen on that. It might be the right direction, but it probably won't fly in the US political system.
I believe at least two things will have to happen. First, the bot will have to generate candidate models of reality and evaluate them against the input for the most viable fit. These models may be physical in some cases, such as a 3D reconstruction of a face or room; conceptual in others, such as social relationship diagrams; and logic/deduction models, perhaps using CYC-like rule bases.
Second, these models and the rules that generated them will need to be comprehensible by 4-year-degree analysts so enough staff can tune the generation rules and/or the model templates. Obscure esoteric behind-the-scenes computations won't do. One has to know why a bot got a wrong answer to adjust it. Self-learning only goes so far; it's why our parents had to spank us (or a long time-out) when we ran out in the street. If they didn't, we'd be too dead to learn. Bots will probably need human teachers of some sort.
These techniques somewhat already exist in the AI field. But they need to be improved and integrated with each of the other AI methods. Dare I use the word "synergy"? Humans use many "clues" to triangulate interpretation and decision; some of them pattern-based experience, some of them closer to logical deduction. AI has a lot of techniques available, it's just that nobody has figured out how to glue them together and analyze them to easily tune and debug the "glue job".
The Democrats have had no issue, however, using the courts to try to "sabotage" the Trump administration.
My point is that GOP has changed ACA from the original. Perhaps "sabotage" is loaded word. Okay, substitute "change" instead.
Republicans were not all that successful in the SCOTUS. The court upheld the ACA
Yes, but the court also reduced the scope of the planned medicaid expansion that was part of ACA.
It was kind of unfair of Obama to rely on fake numbers and talking points and then insist that challengers use real numbers and no talking points. Seems like he did not really want anyone to challenge him.
For the sake of argument, IF he did that, two wrongs don't make a right. You seem to be saying if O did bad things, GOP can then also do bad things.
The bottom line is still that GOP presented nothing computable as alternative. That one is not O's fault. (Later GOP attempts under T covered fewer people and fewer conditions, which is partly why they couldn't pass it: they'd have to throw SOME demographics under the bus order to make it better/cheaper for others. They re-discovered the no-free-lunch-principle the hard way.)
You seem to be throwing up red herrings. The bottom line is GOP presented NO viable alternatives, only griped about ACA. Problem solving requires producing alternatives to the current state. That should be common sense, but it's not sinking in for most ACA bashers.
"Build a Dyson Wall around them and make the Andromedians pay for it! It's a caravan full of bad bleepniks, believe me! They'll stick their slimy blue tentacles up your family's down-there-parts while you sleep and do harm not covered by lame Obamacare. Bigly sad! #MakeGalaxyGreatAgain"
GOP has been gradually sabotaging it via various SCOTUS rulings; removing the mandate, which makes it more expensive for seniors and those with pre-existing conditions (Legislative branch); and intentionally mis-managing the implementation and oversight of it (Executive branch).
Obama has often said that if someone presents a better plan than ACA tied to real numbers, not just talking points, he would back it. One should have realistic alternatives before complaining.
GOP can promise flying cars that get 200 mph and cost only 3 grand. The hard part is delivering a blue-print that doesn't violate physics and math.

He described himself, actually.

As long as humans run the show, you'll probably get one or the other or a mix.
That won't work, old people taste like arthritis cream and Viagra.

"Humans are outside of your likely candidates,"
"Would you like to order a Roomba?"

Don't most people put protectors on their phone? That's the de-facto bezel. Get a bigger protector if you need a wider "bezel".
