I fail to see how trucker is a "solid blue-collar job" while "gas station refueler" is somehow an "entry-level service type job". They're both pretty typical blue collar jobs.

I would say adding a full-service attendant at every truck stop gas station is probably the least complicated and easiest-to-implement part of an automated nation-wide self-driving truck shipping system. You're really focusing on the simplest part of the problem.

Are you joking? Think about how heavily scrutinized her personal emails would be. Anyone running against her could take comments completely out of context and absolutely destroy her in attack ads.

This actually isn't that unlikely. Many politicians don't use email at all for government business, exactly for this reason (it all gets preserved).

Honestly, this preserving all emails is rather stupid to begin with. We don't preserve other communication media completely, I see no reason why email should somehow be special. It just forces politicians to use private accounts or not use email at all.

Not really. If she sent them to someone else's government email address, then they would still be preserved. Of course, if she sent an email to someones private email address then that would be lost... but I don't think you would have access to that email anyway, as it would just be an email between two private email accounts.

I'm sorry, but it is definitely not. I just opened it up in GIMP, and the blue areas have hue values between 225 and 230. While yes, the saturation is low (30-40), that definitely still makes it blue, albeit a washed out blue.

I did. It's definitely blue. Not highly saturated blue, but blue nonetheless. It's certainly not white/grey.

This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

Tell me genius, how are you going to drive the same amount of buses with half the employees on a shift? Or are you under the impression that people can drive two buses at once?

It makes much more sense to give first time offenders for stupid crimes like this a year of probation, a significant amount of community service, and forced enrollment in some sort of vocational school / work program.

You don't reform people by making them sit on their asses for four years talking to other criminals. You reform them by putting them to useful work.

Your "typing in a program from a magazine" analogy is completely flawed since two people typing in a program from a magazine will produce identical code. Two singers singing the same song will obviously not produce identical performances.
