Do you really think that the scale of the US invasion of Iraq would have been different if the NYT hadn't posted that story?

The NYT mistakes caused hundreds of thousands of deaths that you say are genocide? Please enlighten me on how this is the case because it sounds a lot like hyperbole.

You seem to be just a pissed-off person who wants to lash out at things/people/organizations and think that if something isn't perfectly aligned with your views, then it's evil/bad/etc. I'd like to suggest stepping outside and taking a deep breath.

This is such a a weird thing to focus on. You are projecting your own idea that these jobs are degrading and you fail to think about why these are jobs in the first place.

Sanitization is a massive reason why you don't have people doing their own dishes at restaurants. There is a process that needs to be followed and restaurants are required to follow to ensure pathogens don't end up on clean plates/etc.

Take your average person who dines at a restaurant and expect them to know these rules, and follow them, is insanely idealistic, but no company would ever even try to implement it due to the risks.

You have an unrealistic and idealistic view of this situation. Along with that, who are you to determine what is degrading? What about sanitation workers who pick up the weekly trash? Custodians who clean restrooms? The list goes on forever.

Rock climbing isn't my thing, but I helped out today taking some pictures at one and wow... there are a lot of people at those. People need belayers and it just had a generally friendly atmosphere. Plus you get exercise. If I was in need of friends and liked rock climbing, I'd definitely be going there more often.

It's always good to have a backup heat source if you live in a cold climate, but heat pumps have progressed a fair bit with running at lower ambient temperatures. Many manufacturers have models that can run down to, or below, 0°F. However, those models usually are a fair bit more costly, so it makes sense to evaluate how often it dips below the low ambient cutoff for the heat pump and the cost and type of your backup heat to determine the most economical route.

When I was working as an engineer I used both autocad and revit, autodesk has been a piece of shit company for a long, long time. Their greed knows no limits and unfortunately they have convinced their markets that the cost of working with them is just "the cost of doing business".

I'd love to see the day they crash and burn as a company, but I have a feeling that's just a far fetched dream.
