This point is a bit uneducated.
The current state of manufacturing in the US is far more advanced today than it was at the beginning of the last century. Mostly in good ways that are efficient, and cost effective.
The plant the makes the Ford F150 can't easily making the Ford F250 without a some pretty segnificant downtime and an investment in the magnitude of a few hundred million dollars.
The modern assembly line in 2026 is very fast and efficient but it's also highly specialized to the exact product it's building. Even if you designed a fighter jet to be assembled in mostly the same way as a car you can't just shove metal down the line and expect a plane to come out.
It's a fun thought but cars aren't built by hand anymore everything from the conveyor path to the robot palcement is highly specialized to the specific product going through the line. Several car plants can run multiple (very different) vehicles on one line, but achieving that takes well over a year of planning, significant investment and months of fabrication and construction to launch.
Your employer is solely responsible for your compensation to perform the basic requirement of your job. A tip is the customer's opportunity to reward exemplary service.
If your compensation isn't sufficient that's a dispute between you and your employer, taking it out on a customer is inappropriate and unproductive.
I think it's time we have a real conversation about why doxxing feels bad.
Researching and publishing easily available information about a person isn't morally wrong in itself.
When someone is in the spotlight for some behavior that a segnent of the population finds reprehensible, handing that population information they can easily use to harass that person is basically a call to action.
Generally people are lazy, they feel strongly about an issue but without the doxx they don't a means to channel their anger/frustration/hate.
Any solution will be complicated.
@iAnonPatriot I make all the money in my relationship. We have a rule. Let the other person know if you're spending more than $500, otherwise just buy whatever you need.
@iAnonPatriot No, this is dumb, if one salary is coming into the marriage that's "our" money not his money or her money. If there's multiple incomes it's the same shit, if one partner makes more they don't suddenly have more leverage or buying power.
