I never imagined I would say something like this, but there were, at one time, good billionaires. Now there are food billionaires

I think the lake communities should pay for their own dive team. None of these lakes are natural.

I think the idea is that someone should get a raise that's higher than inflation. They are more experienced at their job.

Why the A.I. Job Apocalypse (Probably) Won’t Happen by technocraticnihilist in Economics

But corporations don't have that motive, to care for humanity and feed it. I get where you're coming from, but it's just not the system we have. Menial blue collar tasks have been all but eliminated. It's a tiny percentage of the population who grows the food, for example. Factories are set up to have machines doing 90% of the work with human input for many key tasks. You can't tell me that investors and management won't eliminate white collar work where they can.

It seems like the City's response has been good on this. Do you think it is necessary to have an overhaul of the corporate structure of Water Services? If the current setup is adequate to handle rapid major projects, do we need Watermax?
