    You mean my order will actually be correct and I won't have to answer the same question 3 times within 30 seconds because they can't remember that long?

      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
      think about that

                this is no surprise and it will happen more and more to these low paying jobs. The errors are fewer, the liability is lower the workers never tire or ask for vacation or get sick or just no show...My only surprise is that it has taken this long...combine this with drone technology and things will really change.....minimum wage plays only a tiny part if any part, look at the upsides and the downsides and its clear....my mother turns 80 this month and I just loaded ok google on to her phone she immediately said this would put all the fast food counter employees out of a job.... even she got it.

The cost is a whopping $7.00 per 1-way trip. Drivers who install the bridge transponder on to the windshields of their cars pay about $3.50 a trip. (EV's are free. Suck it ICE'ers. Ahem... )

                  It's also probably the most pristine roadway in the Montreal area. Totally smooth driving experience. Any roadwork is done immediately or late-night.

                  But yes, we'll all be replaced by robots or agents one day. Our only hope is to upload our brains to Facebook.
                  We have that here for years, it is called ENC. Basically you come to toll station, scanner scan your card on windshield , show you status of your account and bill you. It's like paying with contact less debit card.

                      Add to that driverless vehicles and the low skilled uneducated really are fucked.

                      What makes me laugh though is the 70 year old guy y'all decided would make a good president want to fight the battles of the 80's.

                      Coal and metal bashing left the west 30years ago. Miners, ship builders, heavy engineering, jesus that battle is long gone.

                      The orange baboon has to realise that he is fighting the wrong war with an out dated armory.

                      The vain old idiot is bringing an AR15 to a drone fight.

                          Trump has said that he and his staff didn't think he was gonna win. The polls were right and Hillary won by over 3 million votes!

                          Trump wasn't popular enough to win the majority because common sense people can see that he's a conman.

                            Trump is the new Boss
                            All blame falls on him

                            Deflecting blame is like pissing in the wind ...

                              You have been whining about Trump since before he got elected, before he even did anything. You're going to continue to whine if things get better or not! Only thing you care about is if the democrats are in charge.

                                i just ask my self what they are going to do with the robots when nobody have money to buy from this machines.
                                fire them? deport them to mexico?

                                if it would not be that serious this would be the best comedy i have seen in my life.

                                it´s like people cutting their own legs of, want to win the olympic marathon and complain that others have 2 legs.
                                Only two weeks ago you said it wouldn't happen that robots replaced machines. Cause nobody would have money to spent if there is no work for people. So why are you worried? It won't happen acording to traditional economics.

                                everything is fake
