Except a lot of jobs cannot be automated, even a fry cook position would be too expensive because you lack scale at an individual location. Combine that with tons of other jobs that are minimum wage like cleaning and manual labor.

Doesn't sound like what a dictator would say at all. It's not "let's solve the problem and help people," it's "get them out of my sight, it's bothering the important people and looks bad when my friends come to visit!"

In his extremely tactless way of repeating information I think he learned that the homeless population has a disproportionately higher rate of mental illness (which is true, and is something that needs to be addressed as well).

And the cost of the rent/mortgage on that home is more than that of a house plus gas.

I really need to let Marriott know they need to do a better job in their hotel bars, it's so dusty that my eyes are all kinds of teary.

No she will feel proud that they included her in the video.

I had no idea about how much China loves basketball until I saw the huge NBA store in Beijing. It's massive!

With access to great healthcare entirely for free, he won't be going too soon sadly.

Eh she's foreign, so I give her a pass. Now she's 31 and has had it for almost 20 years so I kind of get why it would be difficult to switch now.

I haven't changed it on my work phone because I'm too lazy to get the format right (also the logo). But for personal phones I have always been confused.

I really had to get over the fact that my wife still uses Hotmail.

To this day I wonder if this guy was a troll, it is just too amazing.

Granted it was a full day later, but after I picked up my 911 I got it up to 130 on an empty stretch of I-10.
