Oh I don't give a crap about their "savings".

Even if self checkout is more expensive to the companies I still prefer self-checkout for personal reasons rather than economical ones.

Besides the issues and opportunities for theft that self checkout creates means that it's probably a wash as far as how much money they're saving.

I definitely understand though not wanting to like scan your own groceries or deal with the whole system it would refer somebody else to do it. That's why they should have both available.

I think that's a good start if electoralism can get us that far. That does sound a whole lot better than the way we have it now

I mean you're just objectively wrong then 🤷

I like self checkout. I struggle with talking to people and it can really drain on me so it's a godsend to have if I only need to run in for a few things.

People are using it to steal because people can't afford the basic necessities anymore and we've lost a shit ton of our purchasing power.

Lololol like there are wouldn't be any ties to slavery in an United States Institution. What did they expect to find? Moths?

Yeah isn't this the reactivation of Three Mile Island and it's specifically being pushed for by meta for their AI

Looks like it was Microsoft https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

But this seems actually different.

Seems like the governor just wants to push forward with new nuclear planets since the last one was shutdown only a few years ago. Apparently this severally effected the energy prices in NY.

Its still probably being pushed by AI companies but we (the us) don't really produce enough power for everything thats up and coming like electric cars.

I'm choosing to believe this is what happened.

I don't care about reality anymore
