THE GREAT ROBOTIC DOWNSIZING COMETH… TO GOVERNMENT?
Finally
someone has said it; we all knew it was coming, but finally someone has
said it: one of the first areas up for "downsizing" as robots move to
replace humans is (drum roll), government bureaucracies, as outlined by
this article in Zero Hedge that was shared by Mr. V.T.:
Imagine
the consequences: no more having to deal with a heartless human
bureaucrat, and, if you're one of those mindless drones lucky enough to
have been born into the political class in the West - one thinks of the
Pelosis, the Feinsteins, the McCains, Grahams, Camerons, Sarkozies,
Hollandes, Merkels &c -this is truly a God-sent deus ex machina,
for no more would one have to worry about the heartless human
bureaucrat waking up and on occasion succumbing to a bout of real
humanity, thus messing up the smooth functioning of goobernment. One
can even imagine modifications of Isaac Asimov's famous three principle
laws of robotics: Thou shalt never do anything harmful to Goobernment
nor to any of its human officers.
And it would save money.
Want to drain the swamp? "Hire" robots.
It would save money.
Want to solve the "immigration/illegal alien" problem? "Hire" robots.
It would save money.
Want
to make sure the Common Core lesson plans are followed rigorously and
to the letter, and right on time? Want to make sure those individually
adapted personalized computerized standardized tests are administered
without muss and fuss from human teachers? "Hire" robots.
It would save money.
Want
to make sure those commodities and bonds and stocks purchases placed by
grandma at your local brokerage house get placed and executed in time?
Want to cut down on the overhead that bank tellers and security guards
and cleaning staff require? "Hire" robots.
It would save money.
Want
to make sure your pizza/Big Mac/ and drinks order is carried out to the
customers' direction? Want to make absolutely certain the employees at
your local franchise convenience store aren't dipping into the till?
Want to cut down on time at breaks for your blackjack tables and
roulette tables and craps tables in your casino that human employees
take up? Want to cut down on labor overhead costs to man three shifts
per day in said casinos? "Hire" robots.
It would save money.
Want
to cut down on the bothersome business of maintaining large
parliamentary buildings and keeping them clean? Why even bother hiring
robots? Allow your local MPs and congressmen and senators and what not
to just stay on the golf course with their robot caddies, and conduct
all votes by internet and ipads, logging in for votes with an
appropriate avatar.
It would save even more money.
Want
to make sure the disenfranchised humans you've just fired behave,
especially when their unemployment runs out? "Hire" robots for your
police and security forces. It will keep them in line.
And it will save money.
... At least, that's the way all of this will be promoted and sold.
