Tesco hopes you forget your clubcard so they can get away with charging you £6 for milk, then you realize that the clubcard price of the milk is the same as it is everywhere else that doesn't need any useless card to begin with.

At my local McDonald's they don't have a cashier because they want everyone using the touch screen terminals or app.
Yesterday, a Gen X guy came up. "I just wanna order a black coffee."
The McDonald's girl is up to her ears in drive-thru orders, but she sighs and comes over. "Okay, I can ring you up."
"YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. They're trying to replace you, automate your jobs. That's why I won't use the screen. I'm trying to help you."
"Okay sir."
She gives him the coffee.

Are these things related – and was this part of a deliberate government strategy all along? 🧵

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent AI CEO?"
I do NOT advocate for violence, ever. I'm just pointing out an obvious implication of their apocalyptic rhetoric and tyrannical behavior, which no one else seems to have noticed.

Test the idea of 1:10 ratio yourself by asking:
Do 10 janitors deliver the same amount of value to patients as 1 brain surgeon?

The YIMBY response should be 'left'.

"We don't have the resources to support our infrastructure" - if only there was a way to get more resources, say, by having more high-earners who can afford a new house in your area and pay taxes to your local council.

🌳 A proposal has been submitted for 150 houses in #TheydonBois on #GreenBelt.
Green Belt protects the nature of our precious village.
I will continue to do everything I can working with community groups & residents to oppose this development & to stand up for our community. 🌳

Unironically, this is what singularity actually looks like.
I've plotted the most expensive McDonald's burger and the least expensive MacBook over time. This analysis projects that the most expensive burger will be more expensive than the cheapest laptop as soon as 2081
