Why do you think that is wasted effort? You can have one person monitor 12 machines where 12 people are checking out

Why would you want to wait in line and only be able to access your money during 9-5 M-F

You are completely wrong about this. The cashier UI is less friendly and has lots of functions. Many are designed to be used with a keyboard or with small touch targets.

The user UI can basically do nothing but add items and pay. It is drastically simplified with few larger buttons and a greater degree of thought put into UI as you don't get to train every user to use your UI.

The cashier at the self checkout is to

A) Do things that require intervention like verify your ID to sell alcohol

B) Help people having trouble

C) Keep people from literally paying for a banana and taking home TVs

They aren't there to check you out. If you spend usually spend 15 minutes driving to the store, 15 minutes gathering a cart, and then walk away and spend 15 minutes driving home empty handed I believe the joke is on you. The employees get paid at this point $20 an hour to put away your shit while you wasted your own time and gas.

They are running lean enough many places that you actually wait in line to check yourself out. I have no problem checking myself out. Waiting in line to use a machine because they don't have enough of them on the other hand... Literally some places run like one minder for 12 machines but they will have another 12 machines disabled because they don't want to come off another minder.

Why would they keep all of their own prisoners alive in the first place knowing that anyone who would be released is either actually dangerous or an innocent who now hates the state.

It would save money to continually allow the weakest to die from disease privation templature. A slow motion Holocaust where there isnt any smoking guns of gas chambers where the crematorium fires are always burning but the cause of death is varied

The Nazis also ran work camps which ultimately did mass extermination at a slower simply by virtue of workload and food input. High and low temps also work as well as Poor health and sanitation.

Easy enough to construct a circumstance where every inmate dies in one to ten years and cheaper the boot.

Also it is bold to assume this won't ultimately effect everyone. Mismanagement of covid certainly did

EVERYONE except you knows what

Or you get sent to the concentration camp in el Salvador

Claiming that biking is MUCH more dangerous than driving is just reality. It's a function of dividing deaths by miles traveled. Individuals live in the real world as it is now and must make decisions based on actual reality not what you imagine might be fare in a more reasonable world than we live in whilst making positive change for the future.

You aren't a victim and nobody is blaming you by understanding actual reality.

Great but we have to deal with the world as it is whilst improving it when we can. This means that we should build denser more walkable spaces going forward whilst realizing that we need trains and busses and electric cars not instead of better options but instead of gas cars.
