Castro on the US Congress

Fidel Castro weighs in on the terrible contradictions of the American Congress: That legislators have an easy time approving money for robotic flying weapons, and an impossible time providing basic health care to millions of its citizens. Castro is actually really funny:

If robots in the hands of the transnationals can replace imperial soldiers in the wars of conquest, who will stop the transnationals in their quest for a market for their artefacts? Just as they have flooded the world with automobiles that today compete with mankind for the consumption of non-renewable energy and even foods converted into fuel, so too they can flood the world with robots that would displace millions of workers from their workplaces.

Better yet, scientists could also design robots capable of governing; that way they could spare the U.S. government and Congress that terrible, contradictory and confusing work. No doubt they would do it better and cheaper.
