I heard they spend the first quarter of the year predicting what is going to happen the rest of the year. And, then they spend the last quarter explaining why it did’t happen.

Las week I read an interesting article about automation, and how in many cases it sucks because its purpose is NOT to make our experiece any better, but to make a company more money. An example they used was the always dreadful automatic phone menus, and the automatic checkouts.

I just compared my actual CO2 emissions according to www.fueleconomy.gov. You can personalize your conditions to figure out your tailpipe emissions and your upstream emissions.

Yet, the burgers are the ones that bring the people into the place.

If Fiat and Toyota can sell cars the size of a mail stamp, I am sure somebody can design a small pickup that is smaller than a house.

Does he have money or wants monthly payments?

designed by a team consisting of over 1800 people

You may be too young. But back in the days, it used to a “1 800 taxicab” number and worked in several cities with several different taxi companies. Not sure why they haven’t tried an app for that.

Had to Google Fiat Toro. And it is a cool looking truck.

So, is it our fault?

So, one more example of a corporation creating a problem in order to make even more money, and leaving us to “deal” with the problem they created.

Tthey'll claim that they are "enhancing" your driving experience.

Or use the one from Google or any other developer. Not as if the Uber’s self driving program is doing great.

Sound like any other Yellow cab company can do it then.

Self driving cars are coming, no question about it. But Uber and Lyft’s business model relies on drivers using their own car. With self driving cars, Uber and Lyft would have to buy or lease the cars, store them and maintain them. Or if, let’s say people allow them to use their own self driving car to make “some money…

It is not as if they use them anyway.

I agree. Eventually it is a race to get bigger cars with higher driving position. At the end, if all the cars are big and tall, you end up with no better visibility than where you started. Sadly, I feel it is a sign of the selfish state of mind prevailing here in the US and spreading to other places. “I don’t care if…

Could you point out any country that tried Socialism or Communism where the US and its allies did not actively try to undermine the system by imposing sanctions, blockades, invasion, wars or assassinations of their leaders?

Like what the Scandinavian countries have?

Unfortunately every time anybody suggest a solution, we call him commie and go on with some form of BS about the American way, boot straps, individualism, and Venezuela.
