Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
If you haven't read The Grapes of Wrath, I very much recommend it. It's essentially about one of many families that are forced off their farm by the banks and travel out to California looking for work. Ain't a damn thing changed, still the fuck the cops.
Technology plays a major part in the banks' accumulation and management of the farms.
Robots are simply the next logical step of automation. There is nothing unique about their impact that hasn't occurred in prior centuries - just the further replacement of variable capital with constant capital
I'm just gonna get back to my playthrough of Where the Water Tastes Like Wine and assume it's roughly the same.
i like how they say "a california city" like, san jose is populous, expanding, and crazy expensive. also the THIRD BIGGEST CITY (by population) in california. doesn't get the respect it deserves as it is basically south bay now.

Folks, famously unconnected to places they live or vehicles registered in their name
I'm not kicking Tawfik in the nuts, I'm kicking the jeans he is wearing. So the interest is not kicking Tawfik's nuts because that would be assault.
seems nefarious with pictures and gps coordinates

other cities use unpaid labour to take a census without precise data to get an idea of areas/amount of need, this could be techbros trying to take a pre-existing public program and make a worse bazinga alternative that also allows for sharing data with cops to harass peopleNazi footsoldiers but they don't even need to be supplied with food and meth this time.
InNoVaTiOn!!!
AI-powered drones are going to air-strike any RV or Blue tarp it sees.
Some DARPA project is going to be murdering poor people and libs will be like "oh this is terrible" but just be upset a robot is doing it.
