  • Could be. But in this case, I don't mind.

  • Was the plan all along. You gotta pay the same price, but now also watch ads and have it all gone once you stop paying for subscriptions.

  • There's not one, but plenty of terrible jobs.

    I've been at the slaughterhouse, and it is indeed one of the most horrific experiences I had. The smell of stale blood, the heat, the constant repetition, and normalized violence. It takes a mental toll.

    And working in delivery (which I also did) takes a physical one - especially when you're a walking courier, which these things are aimed to replace. Back problems, damaged feet, severe calluses, chafing, muscle pain, high risk of all sorts of traumas...the list goes on. Add to that that the rates paid often force these people to overwork way past their healthy physical limits, and you get a recipe for disaster.

    Students choose it, because they need an unqualified job that can adapt to their study schedule. Gig work does that. But the rest is pure exploitation, which finds its reflection in health issues, lack of time and fulfillment, and, in case of students - a fall in academic performance.

  • Eliminating terrible jobs may come with new, somewhat less crushing ones.

    The reality of the labor market on its lower end is that plenty of jobs are unnecessary and artificial. They are meant to generate employment while not reducing working hours or (re-)educating people to take jobs that are actually in demand. It is a simple band-aid, that is easy for the government and good for capital (as it gets both incentives from the government and a pass on building a gig economy).

    The more terrible, crushing jobs we eliminate, the more the government is forced to actually do something meaningful about the labor.

  • To be fair, the delivery robots I've seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.

    My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.

  • "They would get a ticket" is very much not guaranteed. We need proper reporting tools for such things everywhere, and proper response to repeated offense.

  • And they should be indicated that this was a clear and obvious mistake.

    It's not something you can do just because you didn't notice. It's a deliberate choice to break the rules and be an arse for everyone around. This should not be tolerated, unless you want it to repeat at scale.

  • Indeed. I like that someone actually brought up invoking local road authority. It's unfortunate that many places don't have a decent mechanism for that, and we need it badly.

  • The most honest answer. But honestly, we need to learn to do things about it.
