So you would have preferred her to refrain from helping the boy because of their differences in skin color? Isn’t that… wildly racist? Wanting the child to suffer more just because of race? Because it might resemble some cinematic/literary trope? I suppose this is a decent reminder to limit my social media consumption. This is gross.

Do you really think that people who have the skills to repair the water treatment plant are going to just deal with sewage backing up into their home because they don’t want to do the work?

In their own city’s infrastructure? No, probably not. But that doesn’t quite clear things up, so I’ll throw out some numbers as an example:

Let’s say, on average, ~100 pumps need repair/maintenance at any given time.
Only 50 people have the skills to fix those industrial pumps[^1].

Do an average of 50 cities have sewage backing up at any given time? How do you fill that gap?

Also, do you have an example of a society that functions like this today? Maybe I’m just stuck thinking inside a box because the society I’m most familiar with is not like that. If so, an example might be helpful.

[^1]: Obviously only a VERY small fraction of those 50 would be willing to travel to whatever town needs the repair, learn the schematics of their pump model, then swim through their excrement to blindly fix it. But probably easier to just focus on a simpler set of numbers.

Maybe many would, but also, many would not. In a society in which everyone can choose whatever career they want, all for the same "pay"/outcome/whatever it's called in a moneyless society, I would bet that most people would choose not to do these things. When the demand for such tasks outweighs the number of people who are both willing *and skilled* to do those jobs, what can be done to meet the demand? Btw, I'm not asking rhetorically - I'm genuinely curious. If there isn't enough people to serve such an important job for society, what can be done?

Some people have to dress up in a special suit and swim through raw sewage to repair a big pump - and they have to do it blindly because the sewage is opaque. Some people have an even dirtier job: They have to clean off that guy's shitty suit before he can take it off. They might have to do it multiple times if he needs to come out to take another look at schematics. They do it because it pays very well. It pays very well because nobody wants to do it.

It depends on the person. I’ve known people who are much more motivated by money. Some of them ended up in prison, some are doing quite well, and some are still trying. Honestly, I sometimes wish I were more money-motivated. I’m very lucky that my passion happens to earn a good salary (for now), but I gave up my business for it.

I remember noticing YouTube’s software quality taking a nosedive when they shoved Shorts into the app. At the time, it seemed like it was hastily done as a reaction to TikTok’s explosion, but it’s still a buggy POS , even after all these years.

Just give the guy $100 and STFU about it. Also, stop posting prayers in comment sections on social media, you look silly.” I’m not a bible guy though, so idk

Yeah, good point. Owners of Samsung “smart” refrigerators started seeing ads on them recently. I’m sure there was some sort of legal terms that users had to agree to to enable that, but it still feels like a scam. Some amount of those fridge owners would not have bought the fridge if they knew there would be ads on it at any point in time.

My phone recently offered to summarize a text message for me. I’m talking about SMS, the messaging system that already has a character limit. Also, when I last checked the weather in my area, there was an AI summary. It was an entire sentence or two, and offered zero additional details over what was already visually indicated by the raincloud icon and the number representing the temperature. I’m looking forward to installing GrapheneOS when their support for my phone stabilizes.
