So what do we do when when nobody has a job?

I think upgrading our transportation system would save countless more lives than something like gun control.

We could even send all the superfluous traffic policemen to patrol dangerous swimming pools

Sadly, this will probably only fuel the continued militarization of law enforcement as bullets aren't very effective against pools.

The only thing that stops an evil pool is a good pool.

Or not.

More mining!

One area where robots would be way better than humans is lifeguarding. Lifeguards (speaking from experience) are nothing but a gaggle of undisciplined drunks, junkies, and sluts. The only thing you can trust them to do is show up late for work and smoke pot in the pump room. Even a mediocre robot would be a huge improvement.

Yes, because making it so that people no longer have the ability to drive themselves is an increase in their freedoms.

China is trying to solve its overpopulation problem. Russia isn't Communist since 1992.

China is having a looming crisis, too few young hands, too many old people coming... It will be interesting to see how they will solve that problem.

On the contrary, it will allow people who currently cannot drive themselves (whether due to injury or illegality) to not have to depend on others to get around.

Plus, I might get the train rider's perk of napping on the way to work.

But we'd miss out on the buxom blondes running in swimsuits

China will do what America does: let the Mexicans in.

[The Mad Monk]

Or the robots, depending on how fast they advance and how bad it gets.

I'm sorry, I have to do this, I can't help myself.

China will do what America does: let the Russians in.

FTFY.

Yes, because insurers really wouldn't bar people from driving themselves. I *like* driving stick. Paid for my school that way.
