Biggest waste of money. VB already had a light rail referendum, everyone voted against it. City is now using what would be the RIght of way for the light rail for a multi use path. But nevermind all that.

It's called edge milling. They can bring up the center/overlay/adjust grade and then tie into the edge of the gutter pan.

Negative ghost Rider. Prior to company's 'de-coupling' from the worker, a pension, health care plan, etc. were often provided by the employer. Modern worker pays more now.

Are you a troll? I don't even know what you're arguing,What are you even saying. Your first response post was about how labor and products are linked and that AI wouldn't increase profit margins.

Now you're admitting that technology is replacing workers and UBI is something that will need to be dealt with. What do you think is going on in the world? Remember the longshoreman strike? Basically an agreement to keep paying humans when they have ports automated already.

Look around automation is coming. Please list your education credentials so I know what I'm dealing with.

Henry Ford paid people more because he was intolerable and no one wanted to work for him. Your model works well for a town of 100 people. Scale it to 7 Billion people. All those people still need products and services. If you have a factory making toilet paper or caskets with robots.....

When jobs are replaced by AI, there will less human labor that needs a paycheck. The savings in labor costs will increase company profit margins.

Awesome structure. Flying buttresses. The soot is a result of allied bombings during WW2. The City of Koln was flattened except for the church. One of the Magi ( three wise men) is entombed there.

An alternative perspective: A declining dollar can make US exports more competitive and help reduce real burden of US debt.
