Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.

  Truck driver? You know the most common job in the US. Do the people who you are advocating for know you have so little respect for their intelligence that you think they literally can do nothing else except drive a van around? I would be pretty insulted if someone was saying that my limitations were my current job.

    You need a different license to drive a big rig truck than you do a package delivery truck. They would have to be retrained. Amazon sure won’t pay for that. Who will?

    And do you think trucking wouldn’t also get automated?

      Yeah so you will need to to take a class for a few days. So so burdensome. You can get an employer to sponsor the few hundred dollars or put it on credit. It isn’t a lot of money you are talking about here.

      Trucking could be automated one day but not tomorrow.

      Just a fyi, people like it when you answer questions they ask instead of whining. I asked you a question and I noticed you didn’t answer it. You will observe that I have answered all of your questions.

        It takes more than a few days to get a CDL license. What a silly thing to say.

        I also must have missed your question, but since you’ve insulted me by saying I’m “whining,” I’m certainly not inclined to answer it now.
