When are the candidates going to address the really problems??? Cashless, Uber driverless autos,

50% of universities folding, possible 70% unemployment, robots replacing teachers, doctors, technology that ends need for labor and middle management, how to keep people over fifty busy without jobs.

This campaign season has been a looking backward one, it is time to look forward.

Five year timespan most taxi drivers out of a job? Pretty significant. Another 5 to replace the truck fleet? Not good.
