Class war solves most issues

Exactly. As much as I am aware that Bezos is probably polluting more in an hour than I do in a year, this kind of phrasing shifts the blame to the wealthier and most of the western world changes nothing to their habits while saying "it's the billionaires fault". The fact that people don't try to cut their own emmissions/waste is directly contributing to that of the wealthiest. People don't want to see themselves as part of the problem.

Honest mistake

There was also a time when people would get pay to press an elevator button for you. But we don't do that anymore because those things are super easy and having someone doing it for you won't make the process faster.

On the other hand, the thing that pisses me off the most about the self-checkout is that people take forever to scan their stuff. When I was working as a cashier I would have an average of 50 clients/hour. There ain't no way those self checkout are more efficient considering the time people take.

I understand how letter combinations in french are hard to get at first and there are sometimes many ways to write a sound, but once you learn them you will always know how a new word is pronounced. English is such a joke of a language that you never know how a word is pronounced until you hear it or you happen to know its ethymology...
