"We totally are doing that thing we say we aren't doing, just don't make a fuss about it."
Who pays for R&D, maintenace, liability, creation, etc, of said machines. I like the idea too but we have a LONG, way to go before we get Star Trek replicator technology.

I'm rather late to the question-asking party, but I'll ask anyway and hope. Have you thought about the possibility of technological unemployment, where we develop automated processes that ultimately cause large unemployment by performing jobs faster and/or cheaper than people can perform them? Some compare this thought to the thoughts of the Luddites, whose revolt was caused in part by perceived technological unemployment over 100 years ago. In particular, do you foresee a world where people work less because so much work is automated? Do you think people will always either find work or manufacture more work to be done? Thank you for your time and your contributions. I’ve found research to be a largely social endeavor, and you've been an inspiration to so many.
Answer:
If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.
Not only that, culturally and ethnically, the west has way more experience with diversity than Russia has.
There's nearly 200 ethnicities living in the Russian federation. Russia was the only European empire to successfully integrate Muslim populations, rather than just have them as colonies. Their idea of multiculturalism is somewhat different than that of the west, but Russia still has a much longer history of it.
What? No. That's not what this law does at all. For one, it doesn't prevent anyone doing any such thing. Prosecuting those who would "killing homosexuals in the street" and offering protection to LGBT groups would. Banning LGBT protests does not. In any way.Dopamine Cleric said:Now that religion is back in Russia, this is basically Putin making regulation that prevents religious people in Russia killing homosexuals in the streets.
Also "hardcore Chechens" is a pretty ridiculous thing to say.

I don't know what you smoke, pony, but you should quit it. There are 44 million Muslims in Europe, the vast majority of them successfully integrated. The "they can't integrate" bullshit is right-wing propaganda. About right for people who say Korwin is their favourite Pole.
