8. I want to tell this writer, don't apologize for the labor movement. Sure, unions can do bad things, but if we're going to criticize an institution for that, ten times the amount of obloquy that goes on unions should go onto corporations. What, ten? More like a hundred.
However, I like the writer's "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" attitude towards the robot apocalypse.
9. Nothing in this statement surprises me in the slightest.
10. *chuckle*
14. What, these people think a civilization could change course in response to an impending crisis? Not in human experience it wouldn't.
