We're losing a lot of workers. Some might consider that a good thing if they hate the idea of a large exploited underclass (or just people of a certain skin color), but it could be a problem for farms if there aren't enough hands

As far as I know, nobody has been hurt from floods while in a Waymo. They hide their safety data from the public though ( https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/28/22906513/waymo-lawsuit-ca... ) so it's hard

I'll be relieved when I hear that they did it without killing anyone. Considering they didn't bother to work out how to handle floods before they put people's lives at risk everywhere else, it's not all that reassuring t
