If you saw some of the roads around here that UPS drivers have to drive
up, I think the UPS drivers would give you an argument. They would LOVE
to stay on the main roads and deliver to some of the off-road houses and
not get their brains beat out. And the packages would probably arrive
in better shape too...

That UPS drone really seems pretty dumb... so the drive pulls up in
front of your house and sends his drone out to deliver the package while
he sits there and eats donuts waiting for it to come back, or what?

I find it interesting that people are in a tizzy over jobs
supposedly going to Mexico and China, yet we seem to spend an
inordinate amount of time thinking about how to eliminate jobs with
things like drones. What’s so wrong about just hiring UPS guys to
deliver packages? Or meter readers to read your meter. We want
self-driving Uber cars and robot vacuums and drones to deliver our
packages and self-checkouts at the store and bank.____

In the case of feral hogs, it seems there are hunters willing to go
shoot them. But no, let’s poison them with rat poison so you’re
scared to eat the bacon.____

I’m not sure why the fascination with drones for package delivery.
Is a drone going to leave the package inside my front porch if I’m
not home, or drop it on the sidewalk in the rain? Is the pizza
delivery drone going to ring the doorbell and then hover in front of
the door? Will it read the sign that says to go around to the back
door? These are all jobs that are not going to be offshored to
Mexico or China, unless that’s where they intend to hire the drone
operators.____

I am all for robots that do things like welding and painting cars.
Or cutting up meat in slaughterhouses. But once there are no UPS
drivers or meter readers or grocery checkers or bank tellers, where
are our kids going to find jobs? Oh, right, the coal mines and
steel mills and iPhone factories are coming back.____

flag worn as a cape on the eagle. :)
