| Te problem I find is people seem to think they either have to be the bully or get bullied. Society would be a much nice place is we all ust got on with it without having to assert ourselves over each other just for the sake of it. |

| I like the automated check outs...seems to be quicker than waiting in the line for the regular cash registers, if I get cigarettes I just buy them at the customer service desk. But if i go to get a few things I don't feel like waiting behind 5 families with tons of groceries for the person to check... |

| The only way out is to reduce the working week and increase pay, but the argument is so complex for selfish rich business owners to grasp that it will never become reality. I refuse to use automated tills in a supermarket. I don't see why they should be there, they end up slowing me down, I will sti... |

| Just like not all people suck or not all governments suck, not ALL private companies suck. When they do it just seems sadly hard for them to be displaced by competition... (such as when duplicate infrastructure wouldn't make sense) Aha but that is the point. Companies running infrastructure that ca... |

| The only way you could sell me on the idea was if rail travel was made free (or included in our collective taxes) up to a journey limit, as the effects that could have on our economy would far outweigh the cost (in my opinion, at least). edit: Although our infrastructure may not be up to the increa... |

| The problem with things like the rail network is that the more companies you have the more it costs to run, one company owns the tracks, many the rolling stock and I'm sure there are more small companies and money for old rope operations going on all needing their own administration and overheads al... |

| The solution is more welfare and basic income for people on the spectrum who can't get work, only then they will start making employing aspies a priority. 80% unemployment is a crisis, how are we all surviving? We probably will need a guaranteed basic income eventually with automation, what is goin... |

| Also worth noting: Governments would rather put people on a pension than actually provide assistance at the workplace, especially when said assistance ends up costing more money anyway (like a personal nurse). I could probably work if I had a personal nurse. the problem is that the employer chooses... |

| You have to remember its a wide spectrum. The lower functioning people have an even harder time finding work, imagine working if you were non-verbal. And there is still a lot of workplace discrimination I'm afraid. Quite, no one take me seriously at work because I don't dress anything up and say it... |
