you can't be bigoted against white conservatives /s believe me, the liberals and progressives I work with in the tech industry are just as bigoted if not worse than anyone I met growing up in the midwest. They outright dehumanize

seems like the problem could be solved fairly cheaply with machine learning. Just have cameras covering common areas for falls and have a model that identifies human like objects and then shoot off a signal to a human to verify, then if it&

They get around it by making precursors and then sending it to Mexico for the cartels to finish and then traffic into the US. It's a loophole China allows to stay open https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/publ
