It’s a fair point. I am mainly considering those in retail who once had to “make change in their head”. Most people I know in retail cannot do that any more. I think that’s my point - those of us that “have to” can do the math. Most of us don’t have to any more, and thus are less good.

That’s precisely why I think AI is potentially detrimental, too.

This should totally happen. I struggle to think of anything that would be made worse by adopting European laws and customs.

Finally, an idea I think we can all agree on.

 

I was recently gifted an immaculate Apple IIc, but it came without a power supply. I wasn’t able to find a replacement online, and so I am hoping someone with more knowledge than me knows where I may be able to find one?
