We already allow our government to make decisions on access to personal data for services -- it's called HIPAA. The difference between that and seemingly "ordinary" data is that HIPAA data can be used against us unfairly. I a

Can we replace you with a robot so I never have to read such an ignorant, inhumane comment again? Why don't we try treating low wage workers like their valuable, and give them more credit when they do a good job instead of their CEO&#x
