This is what Texans vote for right?

Lower regulations and minimal worker rights?

Oh, trust me, employers are tripping over themselves to automate everything. As robots become cheaper and more capable, you’ll see more and more of them.

Note to all future employees: if you’re considering a job that contains “hardcore” anywhere in the job description, RUN.

If a ‘robot injury’ wasn’t grisly then I’d be very disappointed.

It's not the injury that is grisly, it's the robot. A robot grizzly.
