Seems to me its more to do with peoples fear of immigrants, that's why the right wing movement are gaining ground in France, Italy, Holland and Germany,as with Pauline Hanson. The Labor Party in the UK is in tatters, and Trump puts the fear into as many Americans who will listen to him. Every terrorist attack whether it be by terrorists or not, give the right wing more power.

You should look up a bit of Glen Greewalds form, in particular the fallacious, slanderous diatribes leveled at the likes of Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz. Not to mention his endorsement of cohort Murtaza Husains reference to Nawaz as Harris's 'lap dog', '************' and a 'native informant' after the two collaborated on the book - Islam and the future of tolerance.
Greenwald is a regressive leftest homosexual Jew who sympathizes with islamic jihadists. I think he is slightly confused to say the least.

I takes a certain kind of arsehole to get his own Urban Dictionary page.

Dan Carlin on the other hand is always worth a listen.
Unlike Greenwald or Trump.

Agree with you about Greenwald Dave70......don't like a lot of what he has to say....but on this occasion he has hit the mark.

Cheers Mark

As long as dividends and productivity are up. eh. That's all that matters. Wonder how many families lost their houses for the investors to snap up.

Is that an Android narrating Mr Andersonnnnnnnnnnn?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Hah. Cops absolutely love doing the Hugo voice "Mr Anderson" to me

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

Could have been a worse voice - imagine a machine channeling a fart in a teacup voice like Campbell Newmannnnnnnnnnnn

I would vote cable ties a better invention than a driver-less vehicle, and there is still someone behind a computer operating the vehicle.

 

[Florian]

More like one person behind a computer operating 47 vehicles.

Starting to doubt the efficiency of having so many Mining Magnates? Seize assets, redistribute some wealth, and feed a few greyhounds to boot.

 

[malt and barley blues]

What about all those garbos we used to have on our streets, wonder what are they doing now.

having seen how much some drivers get paid in mining to drive a big tonka truck from one end of a pit to the other, automating that does make sense for both a safety and efficiency sense..

though think of how many engineers gained work.. swings and roundabouts

Driving Trains and earning $100k

 

[SBOB]

Driving Trains and earning $100k

Pretty sure some train drivers earn more than that

 

[goomboogo]

Pretty sure some train drivers earn more than that

That must be part time. Some people on this board think train drivers earn a lot more than that and only work 3 hours per day. They read it on the internet so it must be true.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

I actually know a train driver.....he doesnt earn $100k

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Driving Trains and earning $100k

A train driver worth his salt wouldn't get out of bed for that pittance, when they have their other sidelines to run. But their days are also numbered with the driverless trains now coming to the fore.
Also no matter how far ahead progress takes us and jobs disappear the unemployment never seems to change much.
