General Discussion

…I cut my own hair. It’s doing my part to help the family budget. Otherwise, what I bring in goes to the general family fund. As I’m old as polluted dirt, it’s saved me many thousands of dollars, if not 10K, over the last 25 years after the local barbershop closed. My better half lets me use the dough for my stuff, like hobbies and travel. Plus my hair looks better than the experiments foisted by strangers at the chains.

Getting back to the main point: Machines may not make the same mistakes people do and might be cheaper to “operate.” People, however, will always be needed to really help people. A nurse understands the suffering of a patient. A caregiver at a nursing home knows each person and gives them respect and TLC. A good teacher knows what the learner seeks to become a scholar.

Unfortunately, banks and venture capitalists look at R.O.I. And going by who is holds most of the money these days, they may not be human much longer.
