The rich lack the empathy to care that you can't "afford" something. They think everything is a choice. The homeless chose to be homeless as much as they chose to be rich. Fucking delusional evil people!

    We are the collection of all of “our” choices.

    Even the ones we made before we were born by people we’ll never meet lol

    They genuinely believe their familial history and it being the reason they’re rich or privileged enough to become wealthy is their own doing, that they actively participated in creating that opportunity and they’ll call themselves a rags to riches success story for investing a small inheritance or loan of a million dollars into hundreds of millions, saying it was all grind and sheer willpower. They think everyone who didn’t do that is dumber than they are, and then they’ll tell you all about their neat ideas on how scientists and experts are wrong and how all their boys at the private country club told them the real truth about health and economics and women and the poor and anyone who doesn’t believe it is a sucker and deserves it.

    Aside from the affordability thing...

    Do rich people think we make each others beds? Tuck each other in for the night?

    They think homeowners have roommates to get labor from them. The same way they have servants who cook and clean for them. To them, the idea of not being able to afford housing is literally inconceivable. It’s not even on their radar, because they’ve never had to worry about it before. The only reasons they can think that someone would have a roommate is for convenience.

    Wait, were roommates supposed to be making our beds?

    Scenario 1:

    • 2 bedroom apartment. $2000 a month.
    • I pay $1000 a month.
    • Roommate pays $1000 a month.
    • Split utilities between us both.

    Scenario 2:

    • 2 bedroom apartment. $2000 a month.
    • I pay $2000 a month.
    • I buy bed making robot. $15,000-20,000
    • I pay bed making robot subscription. $500+ a month.
    • I pay for all utilities

    I can see how Scenario 2 will be much better for me. Sign me up.

    Side note: That fucking robot better have a handjob mode.

    I mean, if you like getting handjobs from an Indian dude remotely controlling your robot, sure I guess? Though expect it to do that thing where it looks like it shuts down and then starts up again as it goes through a bunch of Indian dudes who see the request and then quit their job on the spot. Just hope you don't get one of the ones that punches you first.

    HA!

    If I had a robot that was supposed to be AI, but actually run remotely from India, handjob mode would be the least of their concerns.

    I'd put a strap-on on it, dress it up like a farmer, I'd dress like a can of tuna fish, I'd cover myself in cottage cheese and roll on the ground in convulsions screaming "FUCK ME WILBER! FUCK YOUR TUNA CAN! FUCK IT GOOD"....

    ..and that would just be Monday.

    Those poor drivers would have PTSD when I'm done with them.

    Let me translate this thought process from rich asshole to regular human:

    • People need roommates because they cannot afford to live on their own.
    • The reason they cannot afford to live on their own is because they aren't working enough hours (to make him more money.
    • The reason they aren't working enough hours is because they have to spend too much time engaged in activities that aren't work.
    • A robot frees them of having to do things that aren't work.
    • Thefore a domestic robot will make his workers do more work and achieve their purpose of working and paying all their bills.

    This is just weird

    I looked it up thinking there had to be more to this that just isn't pictured here. We're missing context or something

    I can find nothing.

    This guy literally thinks people have roommates to make their bed for them?

    Even thinking people have roommates to help with chores, instead of bills, why the fuck would he think the main chore we need help with is "making my bed"?

    Like I'm going to bring somebody else into my house so they can make my bed for me? My bed? That's weird as fuck

    I refuse to believe that there's a bipedal robot that can make my bed, with out ridiculous specific programming.

    Who makes their bed, anyway? I cannot think of a reason to do so.

    No, the robot killed the "need a maid" argument.

    Instead of sharing rent with a roommate, people will now not want to save money and actually pay more by purchasing a robot.

    This looks like bad translation. For many asian languages the words maid and mate look sound quite similar. And the distance from house too room might also just be bad translation. Aaand if you change room mate to house maid the headline makes a LOT more sense...

    So, someone who is fluent enough in English that they would use a colloquialism like "killed the argument" somehow doesn't know the difference between "roommate and house maid"?

    And, even if you make that swap, who is making a "need a house maid" argument? Is there anybody who argues (with whom?) that they need a house maid because making a bed is too difficult? Yes, a maid might make a bed, but the bigger service they provide is cleaning: laundry, dishes, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, scrubbing the bath / shower, cleaning the toilet. A live-in housekeeper will probably also cook meals and do some childcare too.

    A robot might be able to do some of that, but a robot that capable will be tens or hundreds of thousands. You're not going to save money by switching to a robot.

    Wait... Do rich people think we need roommates to... MAKE OUR BEDS??? Are they so delusional they think "well I know the poors can't afford maids like me, so how does their bed get made? Oh, I see! This is why they need roommates! They get roommates so the roommate will make their bed!"

    I'm imagining that guy spraying water in the face of a whimpering man chained to a radiator while yelling "Shut up! Bad roommate!"

    What's even funnier is that the video of the robot making the bed was AI generated. This bed making robot doesn't even exist, yet guy has to shame people having roommates? :D
