I had one do that (well, even higher, 25, 30, 35, Other) for a retailer recently. Like, it took them under 10 seconds to ring me up and they should automatically get 25%? I chose zero.

You don’t even need a thought experiment. The hard data is there. Police in my are, for example, cut enforcement by more than 60% back during the pandemic. Crime and civil violations shot through the roof to the point of chaos. I don’t remember the exact number, but it got bad, ignore the fact we already have some of the highest gun crimes in the country.. They finally stepped up enforcement a bit the middle of last year and crime dropped measurably, but it is still higher than 2017-2018.

I am sure this has been a familiar thing across many cities.

I mean, most low paying jobs are also part time, so I don’t necessarily disagree. Make it $50/hour, would be an interesting experiment.

(OP implied it was for some reason)

Wired isn’t a shopping site?

They did say “creatively”.

It will be a buggy POS at launch, and cheating in the online mode will be rampant, but…

You just underestimate how noisy women having orgasms can be. 🤣

A lot of people don’t want to share walls.

“Hey uh, I have 3 loud kids and a wife who is loud during sex. Wanna be my neighbor?”

this.

There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

1. $3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.

2. It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.
