The highest end luxury cars are all pretty much hand built in developed countries. I expect their craftsman are very well paid.

That's not entirely true. the finishes and the interior may be "hand-made," but the body and the engine are standardized parts assembled in part by machines and in part by old-fashioned assembly line workers. I doubt the latter make more than they would assembling a Ford Escort.

While that may be true at some I believe the extreme high end are all similar the Lamborghini as quoted below.

"Robots are notably absent from the process. At nearly every stage of assembly, human eyes and hands play a crucial role in how a Lamborghini comes together. They are aided by touchscreens that manage real-time production information while offering exploded views of how everything fits together. It's incredibly labor intensive, which explains why the factory builds just 3.5 Aventadors each day."

There is nothing a craftsman can create that robot can't create cheaper and faster and more reliably.

In theory, perhaps. But as of today, robots can't understand the details and nuance that go into craftsmanship. I mean, who would you want to make you your PB & J sandwich for lunch, Mom or a robot?

(My answer: a robot. My mom was a crummy cook.)

robot each and every time.
Robots are better at purchase, storage, utensil selection, etc.

Jerry Sandusky’s Son Charged With Child Sexual Assault

"According to a criminal complaint from Pennsylvania State Police, the accused had been dating the alleged victim’s mother and lived in her home for about five years."

This is classic predatory behavior. Sickos will actually look for women and choose them based on their kids. Also why every guy needs to be 1000% careful if he dates a single mom, because people know this and should they choose to lie and say you did something well nobody will believe you.

That makes very little sense--if "people know this," as you say, then you should be believed when you say that the accusations are false. I do wonder how you have become an expert on the behavior of sickos.

In fact, an exhaustive internet search would doubtless fail to uncover any evidence of an epidemic of falsely accused boyfriends of single mothers being heaved into prison. I'm not going to execute such a search, though. I'm sure you can enlighten us, as our resident Breitbart correspondent.

When my kids were little and I would take my wife out, I had a rule. I would never be the one to take the baby-sitter home.
