Comment Make them pay (Score 5, Insightful) 103

Except for the birth situations, all these taxi services should charge these people for the length of time they're in the vehicle (if they've fallen asleep and the alarms don't wake them), any spills/damage they create, and any time someone else has to be called to close the door.

You're occupying a taxi (in the first situation), damaging company property, and causing additional charges.

If nothing else, profits will go up.

Comment Reminds me of the internet (Score 2, Insightful) 121

How many people, possibly Cramer himself, were saying they wanted to see tangible benefits from all the spending companies were doing back in the early 90s? How much technology was thrown at the internet back then? How long did it take for all that spending to see results?

It's only been a few years (less than five?) that AI has been truly in the mix. It's only at the infant stage where it's learning the basics. It's taken that long for all the pieces to be juggled and mixed to get something partially useful. Come back in five years and see how it's progressed. Til then, spending is needed to make that progress happen.

Comment Belittling professions doesn't help (Score 3, Insightful) 251

There will be shortages in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of nurses, physicians, teachers, engineers, pharmacists, mental health counselors, construction worker and airplane mechanics

When you have an administration which says professions such as nursing or physical therapy aren't professional degrees and want to limit the amount of money people can get as loans to pursue those degrees, it doesn't help.

At least the courts have intelligence to say otherwise.

and likewise retirees not having enough pension funds

In the vast majority of cases, companies no longer have pensions. They probably have a 401(K), which is a type of retirement account, and requires the person to make financial decisions such as how much to have deducted from each paycheck and what investment tool to purchase with that money. Companies generally, but not always, have a matching amount which is added. Some simply give a set amount each year into a person's 401(K).

At this point, the only place still having pensions are government entities, and even those are moving toward a hybrid approach. Either a small, guaranteed pension with the remainder of your deduction put into a retirement account, or a full retirement account situation.
