Then remember the truck stops, and the meth dealers there, and the seedy hookers...who the f*** is gonna buy their s***? ex-fucking-actly! Imagine a 42 yr old trucker. He has a family of 2 and his only skill is driving a truck. Now self driving cars took his job, but don't worry, it generated a job for some programmer in Bangalore who keeps the software running smooth. It's all good guys, we kill some jobs but generate others! Suuuuuure. Except the new job requires a CS degree. Except the new job is in Bangalore. Except the fact that the trucker used to stop at truck stop restaurants, so there goes the job of the waitress, cook and cashier. He used to sleep in those seedy roadside hotels too, so there goes the job of a hotel cleaning lady, a hotel keeper and the hotel front desk. He also went to bars, so there goes the bartender. That "cute" self driving truck just wiped out 7 jobs. But hey guys, it generated one STEM job!!! good job! *sigh* --- Nov. 3 = best day in Gamefaqs history! ~I don't have any alternate accounts~ Welcome to the Minus World!: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1247-the-minus-world ...
