Put it on a giant clock face and see if humans can adapt.

They do it because they’re banking on elderly people to not know what they’re paying and lazy/oblivious people not to care. A long time ago, I would help older people with various things. Sometimes I’d play music for them or just listen to their stories. One thing I realized is that so many “legitimate” businesses exist simply because they’re scamming elderly people. I even worked for a PC repair shop for a few years. You can guess who 90 percent of our clientele was. We’d sell really shitty refurbished PCs to them for nearly a thousand dollars. They’d force me to try to make them trade in their PC regardless of the issue so we can part out their good parts and sell them some bare bones piece of shit. I felt so scummy while I worked there. It’s really gross how much of our economy is based on scams.

Yea, most of my orders from Amazon come from USPS. Even on Sundays. I’ve also seen some orders get delivered by what I assume is a Door Dash driver.

Amazon delivers on Sundays and puts shit in our mailbox most of the time.

That’s not entirely true. I’ve worked many intense labor positions. I excelled in them and loved getting paid to exercise. The pay was shit and the hours were completely unreliable. I tried really hard to get another similar job with a more successful company and got basically nowhere. I now make way more than I ever have now that I work in the public sector in a DBA/development position.

I love the work and have always loved working with code, but honestly I’d prefer doing manual labor. I was in great shape, I could study audiobooks all day, and I could be high all day. Manual labor work is fucking great! The problem was I had no paid holidays, no sick time, no benefits whatsoever, the hours weren’t guaranteed, and my coworkers and boss were extremely racist and often dropped the N word out of nowhere. I’m part Mexican and often reminded them of that fact, but I know they just saw me as "“One of the good ones”. Also they made the position a 1099 position even though I worked for one company and had 0 control over anything.

I’d still switch back to manual labor if I could make the same amount I do now with the same benefits.
