Schrodinger left wing logic.
If you're making enough profit to be able to cope with a 16% rise in labour costs then you're an evil profiteering business preying on the poor.
If you can't afford a 16% increase your business is not viable.
There are two options if you want to have things available:
1. You allow people to profit from bringing it to you
2. You force them to be slaves with violence of some sort.
That’s it.
Just used @grok and @ChatGPTapp for the same task of converting a list of expenses and revenues into a Sankey diagram format. Instant one-shot from ChatGPT. I'm on my 5th try from Grok and it's been a mistake every single time. Totally disappointed
@anon_opin Car insurance isn't legally required. You can put up proof that you have the cash to cover a serious accident and you're good. Proof of financial responsibility. Pooling the risk across large population of drivers is a service by the private sector that should never be by the gov
Every move that a chess player makes functions to get the board in a state where good plays emerge.
Athletes do the same thing -- "skate to where the puck is going to be" type of stuff.
But few people realize that this is a general strategy to apply in daily life.
So much of making good choices comes down to putting yourself in a position where it's easier to make the good choice.
In life you get points for the good choices you make, not the difficulty you overcame to make those good choices.
So put your environment on easy mode. You don't get any extra points for having your environment on hard mode. All that happens is your performance suffers.
Doing your best means not just doing your best in each moment, but also doing your best to put yourself in a position where it's easier to make the best choices.
Personally, I know that my likelihood of exercising each day is inversely related to 1) how long it's been since I woke up, and 2) how much effort it takes to begin the exercises.
If evening comes and I haven't exercised, I'm not going to do it. If I shower and start my day without exercising, I'm not going to do it. If I have to exit my apartment and drive to a gym, I'm not going to do it.
So I exercise in the morning, before I shower, before I start my day, and I do it at home.
And that works great to keep me on the rails exercising consistently, every day.
You can play the same kind of strategy with anything.
