So when all of this is over


Mar 31, 2020, 11:40 AM

what are the lessons this virus will teach us?

That if I can't still buy beer and liquor during a stay-at-home pandemic, I'm in big trouble.

Speak of of which, did NC and VA close the liquor stores too? Or are they open?

Control states, lol.

Our liquor stores nearby are still open but only three customers allowed inside at a time.

Put Trump & all politicians on an 18 mo. cruise.

Let the military run the country until 1/1/22. They have the capability for decisive strategy and tactics along with a respect for supply chain and critical US manufacturing industries that are needed for national security.

Start with a new set of politicians in ‘22 with term limits and mandatory retirement.

Mar 31, 2020, 1:15 PM

AUtomation and AI will be a big push to keep open supply chains and delivery. Schools may move more curriculum online and who knows maybe that will be the future for education. UBI will be a hot topic as well as socialized health care, the US is going to see a lot of changes in the next decade and this will be the primer of the pump.

Look around, delivery guys, warehouse workers, grocery clerks all manning the front lines yet paid diddly, you think they are not gonna demand changes? This is gonna shift things IMHO as folks grasp maybe they are kinda important.

What do you see AI/RPA doing?


Mar 31, 2020, 1:28 PM

I keep hearing this, and I see how many millions my company has dumped into it for very little return. We're just trying to do hopped up screen scraping and its expensive, difficult and unreliable.

What do you see different?

Mar 31, 2020, 1:34 PM

Amazon has always viewed job #1 for it's warehouses to be humanless, cept for the repair guy. Looking at some robotics coming they will be there sooner than one thinks, also to stock shelves,clean,do fast food work and deliver goods. It is coming, thus the need for UBI . Robots do not get sick, do not require health insurance ,go on strike, or generally complain.

Yes. Automation will take jobs, Skynet will come online, and then things will get interesting.

Tesla is a pretty good example of the over promise of AI


Mar 31, 2020, 11:00 PM

We're still at least 10 years out from an autonomous car--maybe even longer.

Notice we haven't heard much about those in the last year or so after they keep killing people and running into stuff.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We were supposed to have jetpacks and flying cars, too.

We are not even at the end of the beginning.

The coronavirus isn't the biggest threat. It's a total economic collapse. A total collapse of the dollar. A total collapse of the US energy sector.

So you think hyperinflation is a hoax?


Mar 31, 2020, 9:08 PM

What are energy prices telling you? What about Russia and Saudi Arabia... what's their plan? You think the petrodollar will survive this? It looks impossible. So if the petrodollar goes down, how can the US keep up with the debt? It's mathematically impossible, right?

Share what you are basing your optimism on?

Democracy and materialism tend to do that.


Apr 1, 2020, 1:04 PM

“Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?


Thus it every day renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself. The principle of equality has prepared men for these things;it has predisposed men to endure them and often to look on them as benefits.


After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”

Alexis de Tocqueville 1805-1859, Democracy in America
