Robotics will also take over law enforcement. Why should humans put themselves in harms way simply because society is broken?

This is why I say an election just can't fix this once they're in they are touched by hexxus and corrupted. I didn't give up on you but this system can only be destroyed not changed.

And lest we get the impression Newsome is standing for innovation or some other virtue, he only vetoed the bill after Reps of Big Tech lobbied the Governor and his office to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars (according to The Lever.)
