    But to the fellers that were conversating about the autonomous trucks. The company got back to me

    Those driverless trucks dont have mid trip fuel stops.

    You still have to go to their office to "drive" the truck so it's not like you can relax at home while the truck does the work.

    They've basically turned trucking into an office job.

    When the round doesn't shoot off, so you sit and wait just in case. Only to find out you miscounted and actually did fire off all 5 rounds.

    This is a fine grey line. Your right on my miss type. You can not be a 1099 employee. You can be a 1099 sub contractor and treated as a employee. Mostly not legal and millions doing it. Yes as a employer I can 1099 you as independent and avoid it all. As a sub contractor it's up to you how you choose to handle that. None of my concerns. No I have never 1099 anyone that is really a employee, I dont agree with it. But not much to stop it.

    So as an employee as I am that negates your theory that me paying Social Security and Medicaid is optional?

    So now with all these people running to a doctor for every little sniffle, ache, or pain, the demand for healthcare services increases, so the cost increases.

    This is pharmisuticals lobbying government. It's the gread not the people. Never needed a drug for restless leg syndrome till people were told they had it. People are sheep, they will follow.
