Does that not highlight a problem though? What you're describing there is improvements in automation leading to better conditions for the masses. If you go back far enough you can trace a move from 12 hour shifts 7 days a week to 9-5 Monday-Friday. Thats a clear benefit to the population at large.
If you look more recently automation seems to target reducing the workforce and pushing those remaining workers to do more.
What you describe, and many others have pushed for this, is a version of automation where the money in the economy is evenly distributed. There's very little to indicate that's what we're getting in this country or are likely to get in the future.
And if we're looking at AI being annoying then the now daily phone calls from managers saying 'I need you to implement AI' with zero clue what it is or what they want to use it for.
Well yes but I don't think anyone really considers who owns the means of production until they're sat at home unemployed firing out hundreds of job applications and not getting a response.Sounds to me like you’ve got a concern with who owns the means of production. Having high productivity is a requirement of high wages but not the only thing. I think the god awful economy the last 15 years is also a thing, it’s not like companies are recording record profits. We’re just wet and poor here.
Could be a man you never know!people driving in the middle of the road in local streets, which is an issue when they come to sharp bends and have no idea what is around the corner

Around here you see it but generally limited to kids' toys. TBF I had looked at it a lot less cynically than that.Don't think this is a new thing, but just something I've noticed more recently.
As a bad sleeper I'm up early and out walking. Usually do aroun 20-25K steps a day. I have noticed more and more households dumping their unwanted stuff outside their house on the street with a note saying something "help yourself" or "free to a good home". Basically they can't be arsed to take their old shit to the tip; they want someone to take it away for them. Seen all sorts. Fucking ridiculous.
added to that, people turning right between side streets and cutting the corner with no idea what is coming the other waypeople driving in the middle of the road in local streets, which is an issue when they come to sharp bends and have no idea what is around the corner

I think Akinfenwa is a big Liverpool fan, hence the postJesus
Never even played on the same pitch if I'm correct?
- Cyclists and e-scooters going against traffic on one way streets.
- Cyclists not stopping at lights or zebra crossings.
-Cyclists riding on pavements and thinking they have priority over pedestrians on pavements.
Cyclists who refuse to use the cycle lanes built for them and block the now narrowed road insteadSomeone should build them their own infrastructure, I’m sure it would get universal support.

I’m not sure if I’ve just reached the ‘how much?’ stage or things have got really fucking expensive post Covid.Since when did doing basic stuff cost so much?
Went for a couple of games of bowling after work and it cost over £30 for 2 of us. Absolutely ludicrous pricing. No wonder the place was dead.
Nothing as civil as a note around here I'm afraid.Me neighbour does this, annoys me as it seems to collect all the local simpletons outside the house.
Notice it a lot when we go out to eat. Places charging £7 or £8 for starters and desserts just seems to be absolutely taking the piss. We went somewhere in Kenilworth a month ago that was charging £8 for a bowl of soup, both laughed out loud. Likewise the same place charged over £5 for 3 scoops of ice cream.I’m not sure if I’ve just reached the ‘how much?’ stage or things have got really fucking expensive post Covid.
Just going to a regular club gig at somewhere like the Institute or Academy is £100+
More than I used to spend going to 2 or 3 gigs a week. Arena show prices are insane, a ticket below £100 is considered cheap now.
Just makes it completely unaffordable.
This. I refuse to move for them and they don’t like it.Cyclists who refuse to use the cycle lanes built for them and block the now narrowed road instead

Builders Part 2: Locksmiths.
So having given up on my last builders - see previous posts - I’ve noticed that they’ve managed to lose my back door key. The only one I have.
I’ve phoned a locksmith today who said he’d be here before 2pm…I’ve got to be elsewhere at 4pm. Guess what…
Locked. And I cant.Is it locked or open? Surely if you can access both sides you can just change the lock easily enough?
If your stuck for a reliable builder who isn't retired I can recommend oneBuilders Part 2: Locksmiths.

Everything has a gofundme now. Sometimes feel like I'm the only one actually paying for stuff myself!Smash burger business pauses Coventry operations after M40 collision

I mean it's a shame but surely that's what insurance is for? A go fund me? WTF?
Firing burgers out for a tenner as well

Bit misleading as well. Asking for 20K to replace a truck but when you look at the pictures its actually a trailer, not one of their trucks. Plus, as you say, surely it would have been insured?
Locked. And I cant.
