Build in Mexico ... where security is zero. That's an insane proposition ... like having the Chi.coms manufacture American military rifles. The cartels rule Mexico , over-power the judiciary , infiltrate military units and collect "taxes" on every damned thing that crosses their territory. Butcher Mex yeomanry who oppose them. Good luck with that saving on labor costs.

Why make life easy for AirBNB community smashers. Owners of such properties ARE running mini-hotels and denying land-use/housing to real residents. Instead of shelter for full-time residents AirBNB creates drug-addled adult vacation-toys for the upper-mid class. Is that act basically wrong? Yes ... in that nearby rental properties decrease land/aesthetic values for nearby permanent residents --- see < Isle of Palms SC > for a prime example, where proliferation of AirBNB-type housing culturally raped the local community. Of-course ... no moreso than a resort in the Poconos or Sierra Nevada. But, the distinction should be perfectly clear, between residential and recreational properties ; things like tax-rates, professional services and maintenance ought to reflect that difference. AirBNB owners want it both ways ... hotel+ income while shoving maintenance on visitors. I'd stop that right now ... as well as allowing ANY AirBNB properties within residential neighborhoods.

You describe a race-to-the-bottom; your betters are not impressed. The wealthy still wear hand-loomed silk suites and dresses ... sail hand-fitted wooden yachts ... grouse-hunt with hand-bored shotguns ... and have their man-of-business do their trading. Factories can't compete. Maybe you need to save-up for a week to buy that hand-built & sharpened paring-knife; splitting goose-berries for cobbler really takes thumb-against-blade.

You speak as if gun-barrel-supported "laws" were required to define human behavior. But, humans were self-organizing, negotiating and exercising self-discipline for 10s of thousands of years before the first Sumerian codex. Perhaps a Bible-reading culture could do W/O lawyers entirely.

Generally speaking ..."Against the GP: the plan IS to have robots do those sorts of things. And there's real progress being made." ... replacing human labor with machines is no progress. The wealthy have ALWAYS understood this ... for example ... butlers, tailors, men-of-business, lawyers , secretaries, chauffeurs . Against the GP: the plan IS to have robots do those sorts of things.

Funny that ... Nixon Republicans thought a guaranteed annual income would change no social structures or generate self-propagating personal change; I believe at-the-time $7100 was proposed. Humphrey Democrats thought such a guaranteed income would fundamentally change America ... and consequently refused to pass the Republican sponsored bill.

Those check-out lines were purely management & store-dependent. If you shopped at the old BOYS grocery store in LA. or PUBLICS in JAX you never waited a line. If two customers got "stacked" another check-out line was started. Immediately. Of-course given all the "hotties" that shopped those markets who minded chatting-up your line-neighbor? Granted A&P & Wynn Dixie not so much. Shop with the peasants, wait in the peon line.
