I see the arguments over unionizing fast food workers. It's a joke. The robotics revolution is coming for all of us. I wish us all good luck. Nothing to stop it.

We are in en evolutionary stage like the the bronze era, agricultural, industrial and now robot revolution. It's here.

Personally I'm working to replace the so called health care professionals, if ever a class needed disruption.
