Prediction. Politicians will try to slow automation

and I quote here, fueled a car buying spree in the summer of 2009. However, according to an analysis

by the Brookings Institute, it costs $1.4 million for every job it created and did little to reduce

carbon emissions, end quote. Look, the idea of helping should not matter more than actually helping, nor can any intended

good justify ineffectiveness or increased harm.
