The rich lack the empathy to care that you can't "afford" something. They think everything is a choice. The homeless chose to be homeless as much as they chose to be rich. Fucking delusional evil people!

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

We are the collection of all of “our” choices.
Even the ones we made before we were born by people we’ll never meet lol
Just choose to be born healthy to a rich family. DUH
It's funny how the most valid part of Christianity, that rich people are the most evil, is the part modern "Christians" reject the most.

Aside from the affordability thing...
Do rich people think we make each others beds? Tuck each other in for the night?
we should
Normalize tucking in the homies and kissing them goodnight.
Normalize roomie cuddles. It's a lonely world.

They also think that art is about coming up with a great idea, nothing else, that's why they're pushing for the prompt machines.

They think homeowners have roommates to get labor from them. The same way they have servants who cook and clean for them. To them, the idea of not being able to afford housing is literally inconceivable. It’s not even on their radar, because they’ve never had to worry about it before. The only reasons they can think that someone would have a roommate is for convenience.

Rich people think roommates are servants
Omg they were roommates!
If the purpose of a roommate was to make your bed for you, wouldn't that just make a roommate ouroboros where you each make each other's beds? After all, you are your roommate's roommate...

Scenario 1:
- 2 bedroom apartment. $2000 a month.
- I pay $1000 a month.
- Roommate pays $1000 a month.
- Split utilities between us both.
Scenario 2:
- 2 bedroom apartment. $2000 a month.
- I pay $2000 a month.
- I buy bed making robot. $15,000-20,000
- I pay bed making robot subscription. $500+ a month.
- I pay for all utilities
I can see how Scenario 2 will be much better for me. Sign me up.
Side note: That fucking robot better have a handjob mode.
I mean, if you like getting handjobs from an Indian dude remotely controlling your robot, sure I guess? Though expect it to do that thing where it looks like it shuts down and then starts up again as it goes through a bunch of Indian dudes who see the request and then quit their job on the spot. Just hope you don't get one of the ones that punches you first.
HA!
If I had a robot that was supposed to be AI, but actually run remotely from India, handjob mode would be the least of their concerns.
I'd put a strap-on on it, dress it up like a farmer, I'd dress like a can of tuna fish, I'd cover myself in cottage cheese and roll on the ground in convulsions screaming "FUCK ME WILBER! FUCK YOUR TUNA CAN! FUCK IT GOOD"....
..and that would just be Monday.
Those poor drivers would have PTSD when I'm done with them.

The handjob mode is only available with a Premium subscription, or ad free in Premium Plus.

Wait, were roommates supposed to be making our beds?
That's it! I'm calling my old roommate to tell her what a bitch she was for only making her own bed.
This is just weird
I looked it up thinking there had to be more to this that just isn't pictured here. We're missing context or something
I can find nothing.
This guy literally thinks people have roommates to make their bed for them?
Even thinking people have roommates to help with chores, instead of bills, why the fuck would he think the main chore we need help with is "making my bed"?
Like I'm going to bring somebody else into my house so they can make my bed for me? My bed? That's weird as fuck

I refuse to believe that there's a bipedal robot that can make my bed, with out ridiculous specific programming.
There's not. These ridiculous things can barely walk or fill a glass of water outside of highly controlled settings.

Does the robot pay the rent?
No it costs $20,000. Then costs $400/month for the premium Roommate plan. $50 for the AI-compatible sheets only washable by your CoMpAny-ApProVeD washing machine.
Also you pay with your private data

Let me translate this thought process from rich asshole to regular human:
- People need roommates because they cannot afford to live on their own.
- The reason they cannot afford to live on their own is because they aren't working enough hours (to make him more money.
- The reason they aren't working enough hours is because they have to spend too much time engaged in activities that aren't work.
- A robot frees them of having to do things that aren't work.
- Thefore a domestic robot will make his workers do more work and achieve their purpose of working and paying all their bills.
They just forgot the part where the people that need roommates don't have money to buy a robot, or pay the subscription for the robot, or the "don't kill me in my sleep" premium upgrade for said robot subscription.

Instead of sharing rent with a roommate, people will now not want to save money and actually pay more by purchasing a robot.

No, the robot killed the "need a maid" argument.
No, the robot killed Grandma when it glitched out (having never properly functioned to start) fell on her and punctured her lung.
There's an onion video about "Sony 's newest thing that doesn't fucking do what it's supposed to do.

This looks like bad translation. For many asian languages the words maid and mate look sound quite similar. And the distance from house too room might also just be bad translation. Aaand if you change room mate to house maid the headline makes a LOT more sense...
So, someone who is fluent enough in English that they would use a colloquialism like "killed the argument" somehow doesn't know the difference between "roommate and house maid"?
And, even if you make that swap, who is making a "need a house maid" argument? Is there anybody who argues (with whom?) that they need a house maid because making a bed is too difficult? Yes, a maid might make a bed, but the bigger service they provide is cleaning: laundry, dishes, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, scrubbing the bath / shower, cleaning the toilet. A live-in housekeeper will probably also cook meals and do some childcare too.
A robot might be able to do some of that, but a robot that capable will be tens or hundreds of thousands. You're not going to save money by switching to a robot.

Who makes their bed, anyway? I cannot think of a reason to do so.
My aunt once told me "making your bed is like making yourself a present you can unwrap later".
Didn't inspire me at all

That's not how you spell "maid", mate.
I'm imagining that guy spraying water in the face of a whimpering man chained to a radiator while yelling "Shut up! Bad roommate!"
