First of all, I'm not anti-vax. When there's an approved vaccine for coronavirus, I'll get it myself, and urge everyone I know to do the same. Second, let's think for a few seconds how this technology would actually wor

The problem with unionizing and demanding better wages is that workers who do it will be replaced with cheaper alternatives, namely, overseas workers or robots. People on the street recognize this, at least the overseas workers part. It&#x
