California's would-be governor prepares for battle against job-killing robots


Posted: Jun 5, 2017

Gavin Newsom has been waiting in the wings for years as lieutenant governor. Now his campaign to lead the state is taking on its golden industry: tech. Good article at link.;

I kind of like robots. I love my Roomba - robot sweeper.

I really don't think you can stop progress even if it saves jobs. If you could, I probably would be transcribing reports instead of editing them and there would be no EMR which is killing jobs.

Just because technology exists doesn't mean it's better than having the job performed by a human, as evidenced by the debacle that is VR in the medical transcription industry. It just means some people value easy ill-gotten profit over quality.

California Prop 187 In 1994 LOST California For The GOPNov 07, 2012
red for Reagan and H.W. Bush, but NO more. California's gone very blue in Presidential elections ever since. For those who don't remember, 187 was an attempt by conservatives to deny schooling and healthcare to illegal immigrant children. It outraged MANY of all backgrounds, but it especially activated the Hispanics it was aimed at; and although it was later voided as unconstitutional, the damage it did to the GOP lives on. If no 187, we might well have woke up to a President-Elect ...

Battle With Breast Lumps, Anyone Else?Jun 04, 2010

The Battle Between The White House And Fox NewsOct 20, 2009
The Obama administration, which would seem to have its hands full with a two-front war in Iraq and Afghanistan, opened up a third front last week, this time with Fox News.

'Job-killing' Obamacare Actually CreatedApr 19, 2017
"The anti-Obamacare crowd has been trying to torture job statistics almost from the inception to try to justify their job-killer meme. As part of their campaign, they’ve claimed that the law has pushed more Americans into part-time work, since the mandate requiring employers to provide employees with coverage won’t apply to part-timers.  Right-wing billionaire Charles Koch floated this claim via USA Today in 2014 and Andy Puzder, the CEO of the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee&r ...
