I remember when Amazon said that A/C for warehouses was too expensive until the warehouse robots needed A/C to work better then those warehouses with robots got A/C. The warehouses with only humans did not get A/C.

No one was injured in the early morning fire, but Justice wants to make a point: Chamel Abdulkarim’s target was the system of capitalism itself.

Huh, I didn't see him calling for the workers to open the means of production. He very specifically was asking to be paid more money by a company for his services. Oh, is the US attorney saying that starvation wages are inherent to capitalism? Kind of giving it all away, eh?

Im not to worried, but you gotta be firm. Give him a good dressing down and make him promise to never do it again.
