If a tiny 2 foot long cookie cutter shark can take chunks out of people, then any shark bigger than that with sharp teeth is equally if not more dangerous.

How does automation solve the shortage of healthcare workers or trades people?

This is the longest piece of horseshit I’ve seen all week.

There is absolutely such a thing as too small a workforce. Higher prices for labor eventually means higher prices for goods. Until it all breaks down because you don’t have enough working people for a functional society.

Who takes care of the elderly or works essential jobs like healthcare? There are maximum ratios for emergency care nurses to patients. Even if you tripled their pay its not going to budge that ratio one bit.

Well, you’re not going to believe this but there are temporary marriage contracts available that can be as short as an hour.

Why do people need an hour long marriage? Beats me…

Nintendo Japan making gamer friendly decisions since nineteen ninety never

True story. Am a controls engineer. I program stuff like the production processes for pharmaceuticals, F&B, etc.

I come from a time where most games were single player you couldn’t pay to win. Not all games had cheat codes.

What we did have were memory/hex editors, game files, .ini stuff.

With what little instructions you could find online, you had to dig around and figure out where to find stuff and how to edit them so you got unlimited gold or super powerful equipment, etc and not crash the game at the same time.

Little did I know, this built my foundations for controls programming and troubleshooting. There are so many parallels like using memory editors is so similar to our debugging software where we want to find individual parameters that aren’t behaving or communicating properly.

You mean you don’t have someone at home who will saute your onions for you in advance? Plebian…

So many commenters are missing crucial context to this infographic.

This was released during peak covid and I mean PEAK as in June 2020, global lockdowns, high mortality rates, shortages of essentials. In case anyone has a short memory, the world as we knew it practically ground to a halt.

Not to take away anything from artists but essential in this context meant essential to the basic human needs. Health, Nutrition, Sanitation.

I don’t blame the kid. I blame overly zealous professors who put unrealistic requirements on Turn-it-in scores.

There’s only so many ways an idea can be succinctly expressed. Any other phrasing just becomes obtuse but sometimes students have no choice because some professor when overboard with plagiarism detection.

I’d be concerned if it was something bill clinton said.

Remember when everyone boycotted apple because of the horrendous conditions at Foxconn? Or people boycotting Lithium batteries because of slave like conditions in African mines? Remember?! Oh wait. No one gave a shit as long as they got their consumer products.

Note: This is NOT whataboutism. This is just a reminder that consumers only care if it doesn’t seriously inconvenience them. Otherwise they always turn a blind eye.

It’s not but it can’t be divorced form capitalism either.

A farmer does not produce grain out of the goodness of his heart. He’s doing it to provide for his family’s needs and wants, maybe new clothes for his kids or a new stove, etc. We work jobs to get paid so we can feed ourselves and our families and maybe buy something nice or shiny once in a while and save for retirement.

Production of commodities and services, profit-motive, capital accumulation, If that’s not the basis of capitalism, I’m not sure what is?
