Iceland will end its whaling in 2024.

Amazon treats warehouse workers so badly that on the average they leave after 8 months.

The U.S. border thugs plan to test patrols by robots on the border with Mexico.

A robot patroller can be programmed to be gentle and nonviolent. Or it can be programmed to kill or disappear anyone "unauthorized". It could even be programmed to flip from one to the other on command in an instant.
