I can't wait for the video of the first Aussie 10 trailer automated truck train rolling across the desert.


As much as I love the technology the trucking industry is going to be the first major publically covered upheaval of jobs lost to automation. It's going to be fucking massive and happen over just a few years. Imagine when more than 90% of the more than 3 million truck drivers in the United States lose their jobs in just a few years.

Scary stuff.

They'll be sabotaging the driverless trucks. Well the radical ones will.

Yeah, pretty much from what I've read. But it'll still be nice to see the videos.

Worst case I'll be a rural family doctor.

Not the worst in the world, since I learned they actually make pretty good bank and have great bargaining power with insurance companies since they're often the only doctor within 50-100 miles that takes some insurances or will provide the specific service they are billing.


You will be playing psychiatrist at a primary care. Psychiatrists are much better playing primary care doctors than the other way around ;)

Just got to be conservative and know that pills won't help problems caused by personality.

Rural health care agencies are using a lot of teledocs in Ipads.

Did a rural doctors tax return for her, many many years worth starting from first year university. First year of employment started at 455k plus 80k signing bonus.

Obviously she had significant tuition credits as well. Was a good year for her.

Also considering Psychiatry, but I don't know if I can deal with the "This person is so fucking stupid just do what I say god damn it" all day. Like, I know I'll have to deal with that, but psych seems like it would be the worst field for it.

Mick is a bloody menace, but he mostly only kills foreigners, much like drop bears really.
