Soy un Agricultor de Soja
China used to buy half our soybeans to make stuff like tofu,

They cleave to the notion that black Kevlar riot gear is slimming.
I Say Robot, You Say Cobot Let's call the whole thing automation ...
Amazon’s going to replace 600,000 workers with robots,
‘Cause you don’t need brains or judgement to pack a box.
From a PR viewpoint the look’s not good,
So execs addressing the move always should
Emphasize the human collaboration and call them “cobots.”
