Where do you draw the line here? Do you put your own gas into your own car? Because up until recently and still in one or two places that's someone else's job. ah you have an EV... ok do you buy your own clothes? That's the job of a personal shopper. do you prepare your own food? That's the job of a chef or a cook. Do you dress yourself in the morning? That's the job of a valet, hard t. Do you park your own car? That's the job of a valet, silent t. Do you locate your table and seat yourself in restaurants, cafes or at the cinema? That's the job... etc.
- MarcusE1W 3y agoFair point. I guess everyone has to make their decision themselves according to their situation.
- jstarfish 3y agoGas jockeys served the public. We don't grow/kill our own food, we buy from vendors who sell to the public. It's poor form to invite someone to dinner at your house, then make them cook it when they arrive. That's where the line is drawn. Not having a personal valet-silent-t isn't doing someone else's job. It was never a position to begin with. I'm trying, but I can't fathom what point you think you're making comparing the living standards of plebes to the Queen of England's unless you were born to landowners during apartheid or are a current member of the Saudi royal family.
- acchow 3y agoWhat if the "line" you draw is that you only support technologies that shift labor from human to machine, and not human to another human that doesn't get paid. Would that work?
- Moomoomoo309 3y agoI absolutely refuse to put gas in my car. Thank God for New Jersey. Gasoline is dangerous and I have no idea why we should let people pump their own. I can't imagine how many people smoke while pumping their own gas outside of lovely New Jersey...
- womod 3y agoGasoline is absolutely not that dangerous, at least relative to the risk involved every time one drives a car. For igniting gasoline fumes, a spark is almost always necessary. Realistically speaking, a lit cigarette has a better chance of setting a nearby trash can on fire than igniting the gasoline fumes. If a person were to spark a lighter to light a cigarette that'd be a different story. https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2010/03/gas-pump_fire_that_killed_cumb.html https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2010/03/gas-pump_fire_that... https://content.nfpa.org/-/media/Project/Storefront/Catalog/Files/Research/NFPA-Research/Building-and-life-safety/osservicestationtables.pdf https://content.nfpa.org/-/media/Project/Storefront/Catalog/...
