We’re already there, in a sort of way. Products aren’t built to last, aren’t built to be repaired. Buy a new phone, computer, washing machine, every year! You wouldn’t want the social embarrassment of not having the latest gadgets! And if that fails, we’ll just release a patch that prevents the irreplaceable battery from lasting a full day.

Plus after computers made it so one person could do the job of 100, entire new industries popped up to do meaningless jobs shuffling digital money around. Some of the most comfortably-paying upper-working-class jobs are entirely pointless. But it keeps educated people from questioning the system. As long as they get a cushy paycheck twice a month they’ll happily make another B2B web 3.0 cloud-based KPI tracking analytics platform and not question if their job is meaningful.

You dropped a couple zeros there.

Loud engines aren’t a technological or engineering problem; they’re a self-esteem problem. Universal healthcare that includes mental health support and a strong working class economy will go a long way towards addressing those with low self-esteem, but they’ll never go away entirely.

A decline in my cynicism that is caused by factual occurrences in reality.

The monthly subscription to the kiosk software still costs more I bet.

But it is killing jobs, and that’s what’s important.

You mean extended unemployment, seeing people turn medical fact into political beliefs, not having the opportunity to spend time with the few people that don’t annoy me, and day drinking?

Please sir may we have another

The only irredeemable people are those that don’t return their shopping carts.

The latter. Every time I have to job hunt, it’s mentally exhausting from how frustrating it is. I have over 90 logins to various job sites and that isn’t counting the ones using Google login or the ones I just let my browser save and I never copied to my password library.

If I ever have to job hunt again I’m printing out paper resumes and hitting the pavement like it’s 1980 again.

In what possible instance would they not be copper colored?

Everything Google has done was better before they inserted machine learning. Google Maps used to give accurate lane-specific directions, then they switched to using approximate traffic data to determine directions, and since most drivers are morons, Maps now tells you to turn right in a straight-only lane and make an illegal left turn in 150ft after crossing 4 lanes.

In many cities, that would mean a 81sqft room in a unit with three roommates in the worst part of town, and having a 45 minute commute to work (each way).

Life’s too short, is what I decided. I could live in almost comfortable conditions and not have any money, or live in miserable conditions and still not have any money.

Joke’s on future (or is it present?) you. The only way to be financially ready for retirement is to start saving before you were born.
