Driverless car startup lays off 150 workers

The startup has investors such as Ford and Volkswagen and has brought Walmart into The fold to test its technology

If advancement in technology does not benefit all of mankind, what purpose does it serve?? With all of the highly sophisticated technology/science the multi-billionaires entrepreneurs have come up with, what purpose does it serve if it eliminates hundreds of thousands of jobs??

With the exception of innovations in medicine and other human-kind friendly advancements that are beneficial to all of mankind, what purpose do they serve but making the wealthy wealthier and the poor man poorer??

Robots could take over 20 million jobs by 2030, study claims

Jun 26, 2019 — Robots could take over 20 million manufacturing jobs around the world by 2030, economists claimed Wednesday. According to a new study from.

This country is now plagued with millions of people that refuse to work. Now tack on the element of robots doing human work, what we are facing is an enormous number of brain dead people that are unemployed, either because of technology or laziness. This is just one of the other factors I have been preaching about from my soap box where mankind is going to destroy itself.

How is this considered progress?? 20 – 40 – 60 – million jobs lost to robots, that is insane. These hunks of welded together tin, computer chips and other electronics have made a very select few people mega-billionaires while their technology is destroying millions and millions of jobs.

WTFDIC about a self-driving car?? In my opinion they are extremely dangerous, and we are only in the infancy stage as far as numbers have been on the road. To put the icing on the cake, not only are the a hazard, they are putting millions of people out of work.

When someone comes up with an invention that benefits all of mankind like mechanisms that turn salt water into drinking water, to me that is an achievement.

Billions Of Change, is a very informative documentary on Amazon about the shortage of water in the world and one man’s quest to alleviate the problem.

The man behind the scenes in this ever so important solution to the water problem that plagues the Earth is Manoj Bhargava.

The vast majority of the world’s population takes it for granted that every time they turn on the spicket, outcomes fresh clean water. That fact or assumption is not the case anymore in many parts of the world, including the United States. World is running out of fresh drinking water at warp speed. The lakes, rivers and aquifers are drying up one after another, people are ignoring the fact and do not want to see the forest on kind of the trees.

What Year Will America run out of water?

Within the next 50 years, many parts of the US may see their freshwater supply drop down by a third. This is due to the fact that Americans are using water in excess. By 2071, half of the rivers and freshwater basins could be unable to meet our monthly water demands — meaning serious water shortages. Sep 28, 2020

Nearly 165 million Americans rely on groundwater for drinking water, farmers use it for irrigation―37 percent of our total water usage is for agriculture—and industry needs it for manufacturing. Groundwater is being pumped faster than it can be naturally replenished. Aug 11, 2020

I don’t care how much money a person has tucked under their mattress, how much their mansion cost, what their daddy’s last name is, if and when they run out of water, they virtually have nothing.

The expression I used so many times before is when our lustrous DI used to scream at us in boot camp. Ladies; don’t wait until the shit hits the fan and you are standing there with your dick in your hand trying to figure out what to do, that should have been decided months ago.

The entire world has to get on the band wagon now and do not wait until the wells are totally dry. We have to be proactive and solve all of our problems before they get totally out of hand. This is exactly what has happened to the USA in recent years. The authorities have let the wild cat out of the bag and now can not get it back in.

There is no doubt in my mind that the powers to be will handle the water crisis the same way they conduct all of their business, piss poor. They will be standing there with their dick or something else, trying to find a solution.

Take the time and watch this documentary to see just how severe/critical the water situation is in this world.

Let us concentrate on the immediate needs mankind has on earth instead of inventing self-driving cars, rocketing to Mars and other brain-storms some billionaire has that in the long run will be another nail in our coffin.

The inventors/entrepreneur with super brain power and unlimited wealth should put the time and money into projects that will benefit the entire worlds population. As we see it now, the only thing that the super-brains are achieving is inflating their ego a lot more than it is already.

What good will a self-driving car do anyone, if there is no one left on the earth to be driven it??The supporters of the driverless car claim they are very safe. In a stretch, now I will give them a maybe. That is because there are very few of them on the road. What happens when there are millions of the monsters roaming the streets?? I will guarantee the freeways will look like a junk yard with cars piled on top of one another.

Elon – Billy – Jeffrey what would you classify as more needy to resolve:

ORRRRRR

ORRRRR

I think the answer is obvious.
