Yes. The solution to our problem is robots that are consumers. :)

The class divide reasoning was bogus and made me more than a little angry.

low-skill jobs? Not just those. High-skill jobs are being replaced.

Not notice them? You mean all the unemployed?

I meant a cultural adaption. Things are changing very very very quickly now, even within a single generation.

Considering how disruptive computer power AI is becoming, a temporary slow down can be good for us...To give us time to adapt, put in place controls, and decide on a future without need for human labor

Agree. Communication skills = politik = Bullshit because communications skills just mean understanding people's turf, and how not to step on it (unless intentionally). Its this kind of bullshit that allows inept people to continue, bad ideas to live longer, or people having to choose between quality work and covering their bosses (and friend's) behinds. All you should need to do is: Be nice. Be kind. Say hello. Don't be abrupt. Say thank you. Do your job expertly. Be helpful and willing and understanding.

Exactly. Right now .5 g is reported as 0.0 g transfat. Unfortunately it doesnt take but 1 to 3 grams daily to be associated with serious cardiovascular risk.

Mabe not ban it, but at least accurately report the amount in the food on the label. e.g. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diet/trans-fat-information-food-labels-deceptive-researcher/story?id=12515022

Small amounts of transfats can cause a large amount of health risk. Current rules allow food makers to say there is 0.0 grams of transfat per serving if there is less than .5 g transfat preserving. Unfortunately, a diet of 1 or 2 grams transfat daily is associated with all sorts of bad things, and you can easily rack it up by eating a couple servings of foods labeled 0.0 grams transfat. Transfat should be labeled in mg, not g, and reported with at least a precision of 0.1 g.

you are my foe, so I will not tell :) Seriously, though..I have too much work to do right now, but I'll try looking some up later

Well thats one point of the law I like. It does require some minimum percentage of revenues be used to pay for healthcare.

Contractor fraud and abuse is the problem.

All over the place. For example, cut funding to oversight agencies, then blame failures of oversight on the evils of government.
