To add: there are over 4 million nurses in the US.
Of course there are ditch diggers. You can't dig everything with a machine.
And the ditch digger requires the engineer to tell him where to dig. Digging a hole for no reason isn't very beneficial. Even if you take away this public infrastructure you would get private infrastructure in its stead.

As a species on the planet? No, there's nothing bad about it. But it's going to be bad politically. It will shake up the power of countries when population numbers change and no country wants to give to power.
I have a difficult time understanding this. I was a kid that was rebellious, but in a way that didn't get me in trouble. When I read stories like this I get an intense feeling of fighting back, or at the very least,…
The other strategies are clearly not working though. Birth rates have at best stayed steady or declined.
This is a good effect for the economy though. The customers are benefiting from it. Not so great for Uber though.
>Ofc this doesn't excuse their illegal practices. In some ways it does though. Some industries corner the market through regulation. Ie it's impossible for a new competitor to start up that follows all the rules and…
On that note we should ban everything recreational, inefficient, and made for comfort, except the things I like. People would benefit from living in smaller houses when it comes to heating too. Should we legally mandate…
You're not wrong there. The US is definitely on the list of countries that I don't want to visit. Albeit for other reasons.
Putin isn't the one pressing the button to shoot a missile that hits a kindergarten. He's not the one that's threatening you with a rifle. It's an average Russian guy that does it. It has been an average Russian guy…
I think even if Ukraine had done nothing they still would've been targeted by Russia. Look at Estonia[0] and Georgia[1]. You could think of them as preludes to what happened in Crimea. It's the same excuse - "we are…
I'm surprised by how little small (civilian) drones are used in general. Simply having the ability to see much further than your troops are at seems like it would be very useful. Perhaps batteries are a problem?
You mean "historical Russian territory" that the Russian Empire took with conquest? Maybe France should retake historical French territory from the Napoleonic era too?
It's also possible that in a creative industry like that you can't be as controlling when it comes to employee behavior. The people coming up with crazy new ideas are probably more eccentric than average. It might not…
You might not trust them, but the quote is taken out of context by the media and whenever it gets regurgitated on the internet. It's used as some kind of a "See, I knew I was correct in disliking them!" idea.
It kind of does though. People online cheer when city centers become closed to cars. Spreading it further probably means restricting cars more. I don't really disagree with your overall stance, but those two do often go…
That sounds utterly ridiculous. Is that how America got the mentality that you're not allowed to have your child play unsupervised on the front lawn? Obviously Alexa shouldn't give such answers, but at what point do you…
Advertising without tracking doesn't work. Only a small set of businesses can really advertise online without tracking. Any business that is in a specific area or doesn't use English will find it a bad deal, because…
Except that these are businesses giving away a free product which has been immensely useful. Starting out I wouldn't have paid for almost any of the services that I use on a daily basis.
>Sure. But since EU citizens will be enjoying those protections and US citizens will not eventually this will translate into an advantage for companies doing business from the EU and into the US. For that reason alone…
How are websites and apps going to make money though? Like it or not, the reason the internet became this popular is because of all the free stuff on it. If everything was behind subscription fees it possibly would…
