- TulliusCicero 10y agoSure I do. 1. Automation wasn't a major political issue behind Trump's success. 2. I can still think someone is wrong even if they hold the majority opinion (although in this case it was a minority opinion since Trump lost the popular vote). 3. I do think something should be done to help people who lose their jobs due to automation. I just think that's the government's domain, not that of private companies.
