Engineer of unique structures @ TopTeam | NASTRAN expert

All this talk about self driving cars killing truck businesses... Here's one working in the opposite direction. 1. Enabling truck drivers to see "live maps" of open delivery orders... kind of like "just eat" - for trucks. 2. Enabling to get paid "at delivery" rather than a month later - after managers take their cut. Empowering truck drivers to go independent... interesting. Not sure how cargo insurance works with that. But... Yolo is an option? Brave new world... indeed. Things will become cheaper... but... who will have all the purchasing power? I mean... nationalism, socialism and nepotism - create a HUGE number of excessive hours... slow work. Slow progress... meetings after meetings, with days spent preparing content for those meetings, just to communicate "complicated things in simple words", extreme over simplifications... work done at 5% speed... The extreme inefficiency of "traditional" structures is really helpful for keeping the wages up... creating slow jobs. Where things like unions can push back... owners take % from every worker. Unions take % from every worker. And worker gets all kinds of benefits, such as - health insurance, vacation, pension... a promise for a good life at 80... etc... Obviously, people are disillusioned by "hourly rates" that allow you to own your first home at 65 years of age. This fuels innovations. Which really shakes things up... once everyone can go "private" with fully automated accounting and order processing on a global scale... Times will be interesting. I guess we will suddenly learn to "share" and "pay each other fair" - once we don't really need each other "for profit" - no longer. :D Also... micro nuclear reactors - are the future... safest, greenest, "zero storage problems", constant power output - no grid balance issues technology in existence...
