As per google, the US’s unemployment rate for 2024 is 4.1%, which is pretty good.
What workforce problems are they talking about? India? China? Mexico?
I think they mean the problem of paying people for their labor.

They had a board meeting and someone said, ¨Man, we could make so much more money if we didn’t have to pay those damn employees.¨
These types of corporations would probably lobby for universal income. Nobody works, gets free money from the government, and the 6 people at the head of the corporation make tons of money.

And the CFO, who thought he was part of the crew, just found out he’s not, and he also is getting replaced…by AI.
¨Sorry, Jim. Nothing personal; just business.¨

It actually seems pretty safe. However, I’d rather support a human.
That sounds strange, right? A human driver could be more dangerous than the self-driving car, and that’s who I’m choosing.

Not strange at all, The younger generation is more likely to accept robots taking over than the generations before them

It’s an interesting one, isn’t it? The “free money” presumably comes originally from some kind of taxation?
You’d kind of think (“instinctively”?) that it “must” be inflationary, one way or another, in the long run? Yet I believe some heavyweight economists say that it needn’t be, and there’s actually some kind of evidence from somewhere it was tried on a small scale that it wasn’t? (I can’t remember where, now - maybe you know?).
I know that some people well toward both sides of the left/right political spectrum support the idea, in principle, while I think most of those in-between are (like me) highly skeptical? But interesting, for sure!

For example, Finland conducted a UBI trial in 2017-2018, providing €560 per month to 2,000 unemployed people. The results showed improvements in health and stress levels, though employment levels didn’t change significantly.

Another way that people can use robots, which I think is good, is shown here:

I second that. What a great idea.
edit:
However, the article mentions another option:
The model of regenerative agriculture – using a variety of strategies focused on improving soil health, including limiting pesticides, rotating crops, planting crops that provide ground cover to suppress weeds and avoiding disturbing the soil – is the better path, they say.
This is certainly worth considering.

Do you guys know where to contact John Conner, or his mom, Sarah Connor?

Hi @dushimes, this one really makes my day 
Thanks for this joke

Yesterday I hit 5 SL before 1 TP, but I didn’t think much about my SL, I was curious more, about how did it happen.
Luckly I’m bald. But I need to warn my wife, before my bots do the same to her
@SmallPaul, in the past my cat always fought with them, until one of them upside down. But now, the bot become sleeping place. The bot will bring the cat on top of it, when the bot is in duty.
