Comment Tax Loss (Score 1) 130

So theyâ(TM)re saying they basically took billions of dollars out of the economy with zero repercussions on them.

Which means a billion dollar plus hit to federal and local taxes and billions in lost economic activity as well as those developers would have sent that earned income through the economy.

For the rest of us this is money our companies potentially do not see, more taxes we pay, and lost employment opportunity for many not just at Amazon but elsewhere.

Easily fixable as more of the economy is automated. It will become a necessity eventually.

How we look at money and acquiring goods and services will also need structural reform as well. Capitalism will not work for this change at all. Thing will have to happen because of necessity and not because thereâ(TM)s a buck to be made.

No!

People need to fight this shit anywhere it crops up. If you leave and itâ(TM)s kept in place it will crop up somewhere else. Then eventually those leaving wonâ(TM)t find new jobs at places without it and theyâ(TM)ll be powerless to stop it.

Imagine if this was used and a productivity score gets attached to you like a credit score and then you donâ(TM)t get job offers because everyone wants a certain score.

Once youâ(TM)re blacklisted then your essentially broke and homeless.

The ones with braking are braking for phantoms. Iâ(TM)ve driven several models of cars over the last decade with this feature. It has gotten better but itâ(TM)s down to their processing times. Subaru has eyesight. A car can pass in front of you and it will slam on its brakes because itâ(TM)s not tracking in real time. Which implies itâ(TM)s processing is too slow. Honda has similar issues as itâ(TM)s vision based. Hyundai is radar based so the issue is less common but can still happen with sudden braking and turning cars in front of you who take a right off to a side street and the system still is registering it.

You have to learn to deal with the quirks. Also the lane correction systems are fucking dangerous as hell. Following tar lines or sticking to the exit line when you want to go straight.

Yes it needs some standardization for sure.
