    Only rich people can afford to hire the time and labor of other people. The rest will have to make do with technology.

    Rich people have personal assistants.
    The rest of us get personal digital assistants.

    Rich people can retain real chauffeurs.
    The rest of us can have autonomous driving tech.

    Rich people can afford paramours and escorts.
    The rest can at best afford blow-up dolls.

      Do the math - $2K a month, $490 a week, that's a $12 an hour employee PLUS no benefits, UI, matching SS and Medicare no HR overhead. It's a good decision for the hotels, even if staff were plentiful. Screw the union.

          Nh. I've met his lovely wife. He's doing much better than that.

            I dont think this is a big deal. Labor force is kind of shrinking. Companies do this all the time'

            sell check out at grocery stores, etc

              I'll be interested to see if you still feel the same way in the coming decade.

              Please love yourself.

                Give it 2. This is at most a novelty for the next 5-7 years, especially with all of the supply disruptions in electronics.

                  Maybe. Adjacent to robots, I'm pretty sure AI is going to disrupt the everloving shit out of my job prospects. (It shouldn't, but pretty certain it will.)

                      Washington DC matchmaking:

                      https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/06/24/washington-dc-matchmaking-00041387

                      Rich people get human matchmakers.
                      The rest get matchmaking algorithms.
