It's perfectly possible to have both a reasonable salary as well as intrinsic satisfaction.
However, I will say that getting both of those characteristics together is far more likely with a skilled job compared to an unskilled job (i.e. jobs that require specific training and/or degrees).
A light breeze is enough for Google to lock accounts, and they make it nearly impossible to re-access. And they have no reliable customer service you can call or email.
But the final straw for me was when they started this bullshit of saying "tell me your phone number so we can make sure it's you". They never had my number in the first place, so it was clear that this was pure bullshit of them trying to associate real world identities with their accounts.
After that, I said "fuck em", changed to other providers, and haven't look back since.
Go ahead and delete my accounts - your service is pure garbage anyway.
Believe it or not, you're the one being racist now - by painting all of the US and all Americans with the same brush.
You don't hear about all the people that are perfectly fine folks and all the places that aren't insane because that makes boring news. So the only news you hear about are the whackjobs and bottom-feeders like this.
Don't make the same mistake of judging an entire country by a partial set of facts because that puts your feet on the first steps of the same path the people in this article walked.
I understand what you're saying completely. I'm not even saying that I disagree with you - to be honest, I'm not quite sure what to think about this circumstance.
However, I will say that there are limits to being lax on someone just because they are a child. This was a serious offense that could have cost multiple people their lives and a serious response is justifiably warranted.
If we were talking about shoplifting, sure. This case is more serious, however, and I'm not sure the same approach would be taken under the circumstances.
Your issue is that she's still there? The article implies that this only happened yesterday, so she's only been there for 1 day. That's not unreasonable for a felony.
Have you not been reading articles on this topic? Yes, we are talking about a 32 hour work week with no loss in pay.
Two things to consider are:
In my hypothetical, I did say that these were androids which could convincingly emulate personalities and human behavior. In other words, they would be capable of fulfilling psychological and emotional sides of a relationship.
The dating scene is particularly rough for men at the moment for various reasons. The internet's effect on social activities magnifies that, and the shift to work-from-home has made it worse.
Changes have to be made in the pay scale first, and then we can remove tipping...
I understand what you're saying, but that's just not how things work. As long as tipping is the norm, that pay scale will never change.
The only way it will change is if tipping stops and restaurants find themselves with no staff because they can no longer hire anyone for $2/hour.
Sometimes, communal sacrifice is the only way to get bad practices to change. I agree with you that it hurts, but the simple fact is that restaurants will not stop underpaying staff unless they are forced to.
And attempts to put this into law was fought by the servers themselves because enough of them make more money off of tips than they would from a straight salary.
So it's just not going to happen unless society forces their hand by saying "no, this is ridiculous" and stops paying extra for everything.
