Obama has deported 260,000 foreigners who were convicted of drug crimes, in some cases for minor crimes such as possession of marijuana that shouldn't be crimes at all.

A Bahraini opposition leader has been sentenced to years in prison for political activity.

The Bahraini regime crushed opposition protests with the help of Saudi thugs and the support of the US government.

UK thugs colluded with companies to blacklist workers until at least 2008, at least since the 1930s.

A study of tree rings from a forest in Siberia gives temperature estimates from 931 ad to 2005 ad. The hottest 20-year period was the last 20 years , and the hottest six years were the last six, about 3C above the long-term average.

A study predicts that 40% of current work jobs in Australia will be eliminated by automation within two decades.

It is hard to be accurate in such predictions. Perhaps it will be only 30%, or perhaps as much as 50%.

Things are likely to be similar in the US.

It will surely be possible to replace the lost employment with other employment, if we don't care how little the new jobs pay. There is no assurance, however, that so many millions of people could find employment that will pay for food and shelter.

Therefore, we will have some mixture of rejection of automation, welfare payments such as a basic income, and massive suffering. The only question is how much of each.

I'm against the last one. Either of the first two is ok.
