I wonder whether the integration of SAP and HP would be possible, has there ever been a successful fusion between a mostly US/mostly european company (speaking of development)?
I wonder how such analysis is conducted. are there experts for both parties present? Or just the judge? Seems strange to allow one of the parties access to the computer, there should be a neutral person operating the computer and only do stuff after both parties agree to it. Could take some time though...
Just a logical step in the development of countries/industries. First human labour is cheaper, then it becomes more expensive and robots become cheaper too making them a good alternative. As a plus, humans dont have to do the dangerous jobs anymore. This very cheap labour will now also move to other countries, making them richer in turn until they will also move to robots. This is the good side of globalization and should be applauded, provided that people who are fired have a chance to move to other jobs and get supported by training and education if necessary.
I'm not even sure security simulation is the main concern at this point. it rather seems to be giving as much tax dollars to the companies who helped politicians get into office in the first place.
To the contrary, you do not count as unemployed towards the official statistics. You will get benefits in addition to your salary though. Essentially the same manipulations are done to the statistics here as in many countries, they try to remove most unemployed people from the numbers by sending them to training, minimum wage jobs (so called 1 euro jobs). This has gotten a lot worse in the past years and the social divide has become as large as in e.g. The US.
