A study by three Oxford University academics found that workers exposed to automation were more likely to vote for Trump than for than his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
"Automation has always been an engine of prosperity," Professor Carl Frey said in a statement Monday.
"But it can take a long time for the benefits to show, and workers who are not able to find better paid jobs are more likely to be hostile towards the new technology."(continued)

The term “researcher” probably meant something honorable in days gone by, and probably still does in the rarefied atmosphere of real scientific inquiry, but now it’s synonymous with worthless societal dead-weight that googles in their mom’s basement for the Party.

California will pass legislation in 2020 allowing robots to vote in elections and also allow robots to run for public office.
