 Flake Amendment Would Ban Funds for Robot Bartenders
Posted By Haris Alic On August 22, 2018 @ 1:25 pm In Issues | No Comments
Sen. Jeff Flake   

Republican senator Jeff Flake (Ariz.) is seeking to prevent the federal government from spending tax dollars on the development of robotic bartenders.

Flake proposed an amendment on Tuesday to the 2019 Department of Defense Appropriations Act alongside his Arizona colleague, Sen. John McCain, prohibiting funds, marked for research and development, from being used to advance technology related to "beerbots" or "other robot bartenders."

With all the other problems the congress tries to avoid, this is the best this jerk can come up with?  Since when did the jobs of bartenders come under the purview of the U.S. Congress? :3:

What about banning the use of Federal funds for robotic Senators?

Are the human Senators doing such a good job that you're sure replacing them with robots wouldn't be an improvement?

alongside his Arizona colleague, Sen. John McCain,

The only way that would happen is if Flaky was a pallbearer.
