>Do you go down this rabbit hole?
What requires me to go all the way down the rabbit hole? Everybody has moral beliefs that they don't follow to their extremist conclusions. I see people getting laid off or turnover being allowed to happen - I see that the replacement job for a cashier gig is sometimes even worse - I do my little part to make society a little less bad. I also don't feel that pure individualism is really the way to live so I do sacrifice a bit of a wait in line and hopefully it helps the girl that checked me out keep that gig for a little bit longer.
- BigJono 9y agoNobody wants to be a cashier for 8 hours a day though. The only reason we see losing your job to automation as a negative is because our welfare and education systems are broken. All you're really doing is creating more pointless work to treat the symptoms.

If pointless work is the best we've got that's fine by me just as long as someone's getting paid on the other end. Besides if you're sick and know you won't be cured for quite a while you might treat the symptoms as well. Treating the symptoms isn't bad as long as we don't forget to also treat the cause.
- maxerickson 9y agoMy comment is sassy, but I really was curious about the answer to the question.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoMy answer is self-evident. I go partway down the rabbit hole. However deep "refusing to use the self-checkout" is.
- maxerickson 9y agoSure, I thought you answered it in your other comment, I was just explaining that I hadn't posted just for the sake of being antagonistic or whatever.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoOh I see. Yeah my initial response was a bit rude, sorry about that.
