    George Rebane The new sport in Washington played by Congress, unions, and big corporations is chipping away at Obamacare – causing chaos in the small business sector.  Everyone wants to hide from the crap coming off the fan, and leave the other guy fully exposed.  Already eight components of it have been delayed or canceled.…

IEEE reports that ‘Robots are not killing jobs’ in an interview with Dr Henrik Christensen, Director of the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech.  His argument to support the proposition is to invoke the same ol’ same ol’ – technology, including…
