  • In California, decades ago we used to be able to throw away our household trash in one container. Now we have 3 containers, and it’s recently become a fine-profit center: if folks don’t properly separate their recycling, greenery, and trash components, the AI-surveillance cameras mounted on the trucks will catch it and fine the subscriber (never mind that these trash-recycling-greenery containers are unlocked and on the street where anyone can open and toss something in). In similar fashion, if society adopts robots for household chores, how long until household inspections are held to fine people (as a profit center) who don’t keep their homes sufficiently neat?









  • I don’t know Sanders, other than what I read in the news. Governmental authorities are to whom I refer. I suppose Sanders is a cog in a gear of that machinery. Consider the US as a whole. It started out as an anti-corporate nation. During the 1800s there were several court decisions which empowered corporations. Now it’s a corporatocracy. These are the kinds of lies to which I refer. Given a sufficiently long time period, a wealth tax will be used against the poor and the rich will laugh about it. It may have value in the short term to do what is claimed.
