If they could, I think they would.

I think our existence will continue because they will need someone to consume their robot made goods. Very much like the Matrix, we become the battery that their machines feed on except we get to be fat and happy instead of being bald in fluids.

But do they.

When your robots can do everything for you, what do you need to buy?

The issues would come before that stage anyway and involve around the protection of, and being protected from the technology.

There's a lot of crap to get through before all our descendents have to do all day is get wanked off by robots while we grow fat on robotic mobile recliners (though we won't actually get fat because drugs).

A lot of dangerous stuff before that stage.

Standard justification by a gun apologist! Which always misses the point. I have had plenty of opportunities to use a gun at a range. I have a friend who owns one. In the Philippines. Somewhere where you can pay £100 for get someone murdered with no prospect of any come back. You don’t need to be evil to use a gun. You can teach safe use to as many as you like but you cannot eliminate anger, jealousy or mental illness. Without guns, as we are, such problems remain largely contained. With guns they may not. I know which is safer and which I prefer.

Close to 120,000 people get shot every year in the States . 42/45,000 on average die the rest not much talked about but very often very seriously injured. In the whole period of the Vietnam war US killed was approx 50,000. Viewed purely by the stats you could ask which was the more dangerous situation.

What you tend to find with Republican owners of businesses is that they care more about making money then about pushing a Trump agenda.

Where people like Amanpour get frustrated and leave is that they cannot push an unsupported political agenda if it isn't going to pull in ratings. That she hasn't been relevant with most normal Americans since the Gulf War doesn't help her case either.

CBS is going through this now with Bari Weiss heading their news up and she is a Liberal but not far left enough to please the far left cult. If you don't completely agree with them on everything then you are evil. That is why Bluesky has failed as a platform, they couldn't handle it when people disagreed on anything so the moderates left and now it is a groupthink echo chamber.
