Saw you liked Ender’s Game, another great book. But yes, I do think the thinking of Heinlen in Starship Troopers is spot on. Will we ever get there?, Who knows. Dont know if you read the book; if not check it out, you’d probably like it.

Yeah, I've read all of Heinlein's stuff, even when get got to be not much more than a dirty old man. :-)

I seriously doubt the moochers will ever be willing to admit that they aren't worth the franchise.

Robots have taken some. But Chinese have taken more. Just look at how many products are made in China. That’s because of the labor wage difference. It wouldn’t make sense to ship the products in from China if they were all robotic made.

We need to raise import tariffs and put Americans back to work.

The robots are coming, whether they make $15 or $8. Which means we need even more jobs here.
