@Amikke @freemo Yeah kinda as I see it, if a lot of stuff is automated, UBI should be a possibility.

@freemo *Giggles* Self-checkout machines are starting to fall in disfavor around here because theft is hugely on the rise due to inflation. Those companies aren't saving anything, just as a funny aside.

There's a personnel shortage everywhere, too. I'd say minimum wage is actually helping out a lot right now. If there was too many workers and not enough jobs, you'd have a point. But right now, not really.

@freemo Huh. That might be an American thing? Here, people are reluctant to hire well-educated people for low-skill jobs, because they tend to stay a short time because they'd get bored and move on to jobs that actually suit their level.

@freemo How does minimum wage cause harm to the poor?

@freemo Unions is to give the workers a fair treatment, isn't it? To stop companies from acting like assholes to their workers.

Price-fixing labour sounds not as bad as price-fixing the market. After all, what is minimum wage if not price-fixing too? Or did you want to get rid of that as well?

@Paulos_the_fog Still looks up to me.

@ElBeeToots Was dat wel een geit? 👀

@peterdrake Mrm, bug: When the earthquake happened, I went out of crawling mode and wanted to move to the sliding glass doors... but my character got stuck walking south (into the dinner table) and I couldn't do anything anymore because it's stuck doing that walking.

@osfast Succes ermee!

@kemal I read below that 'concrete drilling', so that's actually genius! :)

@Evol
Basically the only reason I don't grab a Chromebook. I absolutely loathe the idea of 'planned obsolence', no matter how convenient they might be.

@arstechnica

@brie @szescstopni Oh, I like that idea! 😂
