yes but how will the ~~~shareholders~~~ benefit by spending money on whopper robots instead of pumping the stock price up up up?

The same way it works now with people.

Spend a shitload of money building and developing the robots, write off the losses and make a huge profit through tax shelters and dummy corporations.

Then when you report your operating costs have bottomed out you make money when your number goes up because market think you need big number for reducing other number.

Then start cutting corners on the robots. Make them operate 1% faster by bypassing safety limits and cycle times which makes them gently caress up more. But you produce more product so number go up and you make more money. Repeat until they barely work.

Develop your own cheaper robots. Rollout at a loss, write down losses and make even more money. Make even more money when operating costs drop again due to infinite cheap in-house robots.

By the time they start scraping the Earth beneath the barrel to find out which screws and electrical components they can leave out of the robots the rights of actual humans should be eroded enough that they can just basically use the old Whopper robots as Half Life sentries firing guns at any worker not working within efficiency guidelines as the Republicans want to buy bigger guns and Democrats want to buy more cost effective ammunition for them.

It's pretty funny watching them trying to stock up and hunker down in the back wood in one video; realizing they will be stuck in that country for at least half to one year in the next video; to scambling for long term van parking; and jumping on the last flight and flying back to the US, the most corona infected country.

oh man as i've mentioned before, i lived in an RV for 2 years and change when i moved here to Denver, and it is a god drat brutal existence if you aren't like, a white person that won't get bothered in your $80,000 Sprinter conversion on the beaches of San Diego.

i experienced -35F blizzard winters our first winter here and got to defrost water lines with a blow torch. i got to replace my bicycle three times as people kept cutting the locks and stealing them in our trailer park. I got to learn that the absolute most important public utility in modern life is not power, not water, but sewer. Every vanlyfe fuckboi blogs about their solar panels but NOBODY blogs about the absolute terror and panic you experience when the black tank (this holds your Feces) reads 100% full and you cannot find a dump station. How do you get rid of 75 gallons of human poo poo and toilet water? Could you today?

And despite this I still see 10-20 obvious long time RVers post up every night in the local grocery parking lot. The public health concerns for this stuff is staggering and nobody talks about it or does anything about it

(Spoiler: when push comes to shove, you open your black tank drain valve in a quiet backstreet gutter and turbochuck 300 pounds of biohazard shitwater into the public drain system. I never had to do it, but I have spoken with people that did that as their last option)

more fun facts: even if you are in a trailer park with a sewer drop, you are not supposed to just open up the outside black tank valve and let everything drain. this leads to a condition called 'mounding' where all the solids pile up in the tank and all the water, which would normally flush it out, drain off right away. the correct way is to keep the valve closed until its half full, then drain.

if you dont do this then you get to buy a black tank flush setup, which injects water from your supply line to knock everything out and get it to flow back down. literally an rv enema

the advanced tech in rv land is the 'recirculating toilet'. this involves a toilet that when you flush, draws water from the high side of a wire mesh filter in the toilet tank and sprays it down into the bowl, which empties into the tank. all the poo is trapped by the mesh grate and when it's full you pull a big handle on the side of the toilet and empty it, then refill with fresh water

in order to keep this somewhat sanitary and not smelling like the literal closed loop septic tank it actually is, you use 'rv koolaid'. the primary ingredient in this is formaldehyde. I used to have it on amazon subscribe n save.
