Mark Cuban: Dear Mr President, My Suggestion for Infrastructure Spending

Bridges have fallen, trains have been derailed, infrastructure spending is the best way to put Americans back to work and Mark Cuban wants more automation, now, more robots. Which robots? Manned exoskeletons? Autonomous job-stealing robots? Cooking robots to replace fast food workers? Soft robots to help old and handicapped people? Micro robots to pollinate plants when the bees die out?

How about not declaring war and using half the taxpayer's money on making defense contractors richer? How about not having 800 bases around the world? How about not toppling foreign governments? How about actually making corporate giants keep and reinvest their profits inside the US instead of keeping it in the Bahamas or in Ireland? How about giving everyone free education, thus really investing in your country's future -its children? How about not having more than half of the US population living in financial precarity despite the country supposedly being the richest country on earth? How about making sure everyone has a home?

Writing blog posts is too easy for some people. Not that this president-elect can do better, but choosing the destiny of a country is more complicated than your dreams of robotic supremacy, Mr Cuban.

A country that does not want to live in peace with others, a country that mainly exports bombs and war, that does not look after its own population rich or poor, black,brown or white, a country that does not care for its sick, a country that has a government which only works for those who have bought it, a country completely indifferent to the mass murders of its own citizens, a country where being black is to be born guilty, a country where cops are judge, jury and executioner does not deserve to be leader in anything at all.
