Outside of his Medicare for all and universal income, I like the guy.

I don't know enough about his ability to win the House and Senate by enough to get anything done however. And with the Russians attacking our electorate, I really still don't think it is enough to vote over Biden for this term. I want some long term foreign experience in the political world incase Russia decides to not step back from our democracy.

I’m not sure how I feel about a libertarian and if I did support him he’d just end up at 1%like everyone else I’ve gotten behind

I just plain think Warren is the smartest of the candidates. That’s really what I want in a president. Someone who isn’t a complete idiot.

Though it would help if they weren’t a pedophile racist piece of shit, too.






Oh crap...Is this the politics section?

I was never here

*poof*

If you listen to him, he makes a hell of a lot of sense. Dude is smart as fuck. He is a numbers guy and realist. The UBI may sound strange or stupid but the backbone of any economy is jobs. And he is basically saying automation and AI are about to take tens of millions of menial, repetitive jobs away and they aren't ever coming back. And we need to figure out what to do with those people. And nobody is talking about it. Self driving cars are here. Eventually there goes trucking as a profession. Self-serve kiosks at every fast food restaurant. Grocery stores. No more food service. Customer service call centers. It's not that automation and AI are coming. They are already here slowly creeping in and taking over. And it's not like the people working these jobs can just retrain and find a new career. That doesn't work with middle-aged high school graduates studies have shown, which is what most of those tens of millions of people are.

I honestly have not seen much on the other candidates but feel Warren is still being pushed too much on that Hillary "first woman president" steeze. I did see a video of her being asked about numbers on something Yang brought up and she didn't know the answer and looked fucking dumb and answered it like a garden variety politician.

I may be wrong, but I believe only some truck jobs will get taken over by autonomous trucks. There's more to trucking than just driving. I can't imagine that autonomous trucks will be hauling anything hazardous (flammables, corrosives or explosives).

What about time sensitive freight? Say a load of freight needs to get to a destination in the mountains on time and there's bad weather, there's no time wait out a storm and the tires need to be chained, an autonomous truck isn't going to put chains on it's own tires

There's the issue of securing loads too, I don't believe a shipper is going to take on the liability for securing 40,000 lb coils of steel on a flatbed for example

I have no doubts autonomous trucks will be out there more and more, but they're not just going to take over the industry completely

I think it will be interesting to see how an autonomous truck navigates a construction zone in a busy city during heavy traffic. I hope nothing catastrophic happens

Did you hear about the barista working At Starbucks who put the name “PIG” on the coffee cup of the police officers coffe cup? It was posted in just bout every major news outlet for some reason. I thought it was pretty funny but it sounds like people got super uptight about it. So I dug a little deeper into it to find one more to what occurred. One news outlet said the barista was playing a joke on her co worker and wanted the coworker to call out “pig” when the coffee needed to be dishes out. Lol. Somehow that never happened and the pig picked up pig.

I bet that pig was a real ssshole to the poor barista ....harassing him or her on a daily basis and apparently abusing his own daughter. That barista is really a national hero for exposing the pig for what he really is.
