When we lived in Orlando and North Lauderdale in the late 60s early 70s ( before the mouse attacked ) it was like that.   

 

I don't want to see it today. Will be developments, condos, malls, concrete. Will just piss me off.

Once in a while I've come across a forest that looks like that, typically with coniferous trees (pines etc). The space underneath is cool and shady, and there's often a blanket of shedded needles on the ground ...

And along those same lines above  ( but different ) State approved marriage is wrong. Here in the US it even violates my rights protected by the first amendment.   It should be abolished.  It should instead be treated just like an LLC: 2 or more adults entering a contract for shared liability, and the word 'marriage' removed totally.

 

( and enough rant for one week. )

Well your bogus interpretation of the first amendment definitely belongs in the trash.

As I always say ... do not be surprised by the passage of time; it is literally the single most predictable thing in the universe.

Also, I agree with you about the marriage thing.  Get the government out of my bedroom!

I had a friend once, back in college.  He thought everything was about him.   It really wasn't. He was just self-obsessed and inserted himself into everything. 

One reason we jettisoned from our group after a while.

I hope he learned his lesson at some point along his life, that everything did not revolve around him. I hear thru the grapevine that he's no longer around. ( remember, we are old now... )

So raising the minimum wage to absurd levels, aside from increasing the cost of all goods and pushing inflation up, is now forcing many to seriously consider automating many of their processes, or have committed to doing so.

I wonder how long it is before those states start taxing the robots..

Not long at all, but then the quesion is who will do any work at all in those states, since there won't be either workers or robots.

Weathermen:  The only job where you are expected to fail, by both your management and your customers, and be rewarded, repeatedly. 

Almost as bad as being an attorney "well, we lost the case since i'm an idiot, and you are going to the chair. Now, here is my bill "    ( the one bit of credit ill give to the ambulance chasers: " no fee unless we win ". )

I guess taxing the robots would be the labor equivalent of taxing unrealized gains.

I could be wrong, but didn't Oracle do something like that for their licensing?  Based on gross income, not your true income?

I have heard this snow crap, after they trap you they renegotiate contracts based on 'how much you use our products as its proof of our opinion of perceived value to your company and therefore you owe us more'.

Many years ago. ( late 80s ) i did something really stupid. Exactly what isn't important, but most people who do that, don't survive.  I came out without a scratch ( literally.. ).  

But, what if i'm wrong, and i really didn't. What if in reality i did get pretty banged up, and have been in a coma ever since. And none of this is actually real?

So when do we get electronic 'emoticon' signs in our cars..  damned things are used everywhere.  They were a neat idea originally, if used sparingly.  But not as a primary way of communication. 

 

I guess its yet one more example of the attention span of the average person being reduced to that of a flea.
