This is one of those products that offers a thrilling demo but I have no desire to own one. I much prefer the 2020 design that never made it to production.

I worked unskilled labor jobs for 8 years. Started out making $5.15/hr, got a new job every 9-12 months for a pay raise. Different types of jobs too. My last year I was making $27/hr, and that was 20 years ago.

The thing about unskilled labor jobs is that anyone can do them. The market is very fluid, but the wage is different based on the market, how laborious the job is, and how customer-service oriented you have to be. Reliability (showing up) and consistency (of work product) are your main assets in unskilled labor, and they are rewarded. The idea that you are stuck in a job and cannot move around, especially as a cleaning person, is false.

Do you not work hard for your money? Do you not market your skills to the highest bidder? Why do you have agency but Maria can't be expected to?

Hotel cleaning staff are harder to find than you think. If Maria is made or broken based on your $2, she can find a job that pays better. You enabling her through a system of random rewards may actually hold her hostage in a bad situation.

I can't tell if you're disingenuous or just ignorant. The Trump admin has been completely coopted by the pro-Israel lobby and Big Tech. He betrayed his entire base. He's ruling by executive fiat (EOs). Anyone that speaks out publicly for the original platform gets a primary challenger funded by Miriam Adelson or threats. See Thomas Massie, MTG, Lauren Boebert, etc. Are you paying attention at all? The Boomers watching Fox News propaganda in their nursing homes all day are not a reflection of party unity.

They passed one major piece of legislation since he took office and it was loaded with pork to get everyone onboard. I wouldn't call that aggressive. The Right is very fractured right now.
