20 Years A Beta Test
“Because riders and passersby can be unreliable, Waymo pays workers in Los Angeles $20 or more for rescuing a robotaxi by closing a door, summoning help through an app called Honk that is like an Uber for towing companies.”
When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue
Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.

The Han Solo movie came out 30 years too late. If it came out during the Extreme 1990s when the EU was hard stuck on the Edgy And Hardcore Corellian Smugglers, and Sci-fi Neo Noir Hard Boiled detective fiction (because let's be real, these guys were ripping off The Maltese Falcon)
90s EU writers were obsessed with Han Solo and smugglers and the only one anyone finds cool now is Lando.

Luis Munoz Pinto was a college student who came to the US seeking asylum, a legal right.
He did everything by the book breaking not even 1 law. This young college kid had never even had a traffic ticket, yet he was sent by Trump to be tortured physically & sexually at #CECOT.
