[Porsche-O-Phile]

I’m happier and happier every day with my decision to be vegetarian and go out of my way to avoid mass-produced and processed foods like the plague. It’s probably the single best thing I’ve done for myself health-wise in my life. If it comes out of a box or bucket or drum, I don’t want it. If it’s an “animal product” I don’t want it. If it comes off a Sysco truck I don’t want it. If it’s recognizable as something that grows on a farm, good. If it has all ingredients that my 2nd grade daughter can pronounce, good. Pretty simple.

As far as automation, learn to do something that requires skill that can’t be replicated by mechanization - design, art, engineering, medicine, critical analysis... or for those that prefer - skilled trades, machinery repair, one-on-one customer service, etc. There are things out there that do - and likely always will - require human effort and can’t be done by machines. This is all a question of the choices people make. If someone’s “career” is flipping burgers or punching cash register buttons and those things get replaced by automation I’m not terribly sympathetic - go get some skills and try again.
