PK touches the big nerve ending..or does he ?
" back of the envelope says that GDP would be at least 2 percent higher
and thus
corporate profits at least 6 percent higher
if fiscal austerity weren’t taking place."
"the modern GOP is bad for business"
but
", it’s arguably good for wealthy business leaders"
". After all, it keeps their taxes low"
" their take-home pay is probably higher
than it would be under better economic management."

self assembling structures built out of their own "work force"
like a cheer leader pyramid 





"A prototype of a new modular robot, with its innards exposed and its flywheel — which gives it the ability to move independently — pulled out. small, cube-shaped robots that can flip, jump, stack and assemble themselves into larger shapes with no exterior moving parts."
"The robots, called M-Blocks, use an internal flywheel mechanism to move and stick together using magnets.
The scientists envision miniature "swarmbot" versions of the M-Blocks that self-assemble like the "liquid steel" cyborgs in the "Terminator" films"
but these are structures made of workers like ant bridges
“We want hundreds of cubes, scattered randomly across the floor, to be able to identify each other, coalesce, and autonomously transform into a chair, or a ladder, or a desk, on demand,”
