A robot is a mechanical slave that doesn't ever revolt.
Humans compete with robots by being cheaper than robots. This means degrading the workers until eventually conditions simply can't get any worse. If you demand a fair minimum treatment, you just raise the transition point for robots. Nothing will advance robots faster than forcing jobs to be in the USA and it'll also likely have a downward impact on job quality given how much undue power corporations have.

There is also no way profits going to the 1% will be allowed to go down, prices will have to go up and the economy will shrink. At some point the 1% will have to loose money, as they can't steal any more when there isn't anymore to take... this will create pressure for internationalization which has already been going on for generations so the 1% gets smaller and globally concentrated. Likely war will happen as result of infighting within the ruling class; they won't directly fight each other.

Americans are much poorer today is the reality that people haven't realized because food, clothing, electronics and have come down in relative price by many methods to mask the decline and wage theft by wall-street. If you even bring up the class war that has been raging for decades you get dismissed as a socialist or whatever slur the suckers buy into.

A car 75 years ago... but then we have much safer cars (seat belts for starters) that use much less gas... Cheap resources are not abundant anymore either. We've not yet hit peak copper and look at those prices. Well, I did the math and an average car today would have to be about $18k. You can get cheap cars in that range but not average. Those old cars had no extras like today -- people wouldn't pay so much extra for silly things we demand now; remove power locks, power doors, key fobs, power steering...

CANADA supplies a lot of parts already... but Trump is putting a stop to that...

An anecdote is not correlation. It's not even weak evidence of a correlation.

Ideally, it should be a hair space (because em dashes in web fonts are borderline illegible without it), but Slashdot does not support Unicode, and   gets silently swallowed by Slashdot's HTML parser. Besides, we all know that AP style is the one true style, and it demands space.

No, an en dash is used for numerical ranges and certain compound hyphentions, not for parentheticals.

I'm not sure why the Internet thinks Bubba is Bill Clinton.

Actually, the Epstein comma seems to be the worst.

Could you please make no em dashes the default so that the 1% of us who actually know how to use em dashes correctly — professional writers and language nerds and so on — don't keep getting accused of using ChatGPT?

Thanks,

My guess is that the finance team got wind of it, and they're tightening their belt.

If they do end up being that two-faced and there's a Democrat-led Senate and House, that's how you get a 15-person Supreme Court.

McDonnel Douglas landed a rocket more than 20 years before SpaceX did. ATK, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing and Lockheed have all been involved in recovering boosters using parachutes.

The point of booster recovery is to make them cheaper. SpaceX and Blue Origin are the second wave of manufacturers, focused on cost.

You haven't watched any of the Apollo landings? They're on YouTube.

Those geniuses think that by turning a landlocked province into a landlocked country they will suddenly gain access to the ocean.
