Agenda 21 2030 - Carbon Tax - ride sharing & self-driving cars - Full assault on rural areas

When you consider how automated the current crop of automobiles are, you realize how little actual "control" you have over your vehicle. Add in "OnStar" or related products and you rerealize they can already track and control your every move. They can also listen in to your conversations in the car. I wouldn't be surprised to find out there were already cameras on board these days. We are buying our own chains.

a liberal poster in the mud pit here on ATS wrote about how happy they were that trucks are being automated and farm machinery is as well. The poster was gleeful that these were two of the main voting blocks of the conservative base--that when they become unemployed, they will lose the clout they have enjoyed, and their votes will matter less and less. The poster said that working in rural America is a leading cause of conservative world-view....

Right now, one US agriculture worker produces enough food for about 400 people. The goal is obviously that one human will feed thousands; so that rural America will only need a skeleton crew.

It'll be even easier once they have introduced a "no child raised at home policy." It'll be like ancient Sparta. When the average adult no longer feels possessive toward a specific child, it will be easier to cull out the "surplus" and "defectives."

Do you think there will be minorities, in the startling "world of tomorrow"?

There'll be one universal "tea-colored race", sure; but no more Italian Americans. No more red-necks. No more native Americans....

A world full of just one mixed race of people is a horrible plan for humanity.

that's the problem with eugenics; humans are piss-poor at selecting "beneficial" traits. It has been murder in the pork industry. You wind up with 10,000 genetic sisters. And then, one of them develops the sniffles. The next week, you're digging a trench for all the little piglet bodies.

It's a fundamental axiom of life science that you need genetic variation, for natural selection to work. Homogeneity is a disaster.

I figure we are overdue for a super-epidemic like the flu of 1918. More humans live in urban environments, literally thousands of people per square mile, than ever before.

Once we become robot-dependent, what happens when we have a pandemic, and there are too few survivors to manage the robots? Earth will become a graveyard planet, with robot groundskeepers...
