In the latest installment of our "Dear Bernie" series, posts intended to inform the Vermont Senator about the unintended, negative consequences of minimum wage hikes, we present SAM (Semi-Automated Mason), a brick laying robot designed and engineered by Construction Robotics out of New York. While SAM can do the work of 6 unionized masons each day, he never requires a break, benefits or a paycheck.
Last year at wound clinic, they remodeled the restroom for the patients. It was a Mexican laying the floor tiles. Not sure how much they were paying him. But that is a high dollar clinic. My doctor there recently made a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos by private airplane. He saw the tortoises. He said there were a lot of them. ;)

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Not too bad. At least it is level and the tiles are not cracking.
I go again next Tuesday. After that I think I will lose my Medicaid, so no state transport. But there is a taxi here in town that will take me for $60 round trip. Taxi from there wanted $200 to pick me up and take me to clinic and then drive me back home. Screw them, too darn expensive. ;)
