Dishwashers losing popularity in US Homes???

[ea56]

Around 2000 the County that I worked for began discussing the possibility of some workers doing their jobs from home a couple of days a week. The only workers that were immediately interested in this were the one’s that couldn’t be trusted to come to work on time and not try to leave early, and their first priority of every work day was to check their personal emails, eat breakfast and shop online, the work they were paid to do was secondary in their priorities.

I told my manager that as far as I was concerned it was hell to the no for these workers to be trusted to work from home! All of my workers that were trustworthy and always performed above and beyond wouldn’t even consider the prospect of working from home. This was because they took their work seriously and worked hard all day. The last GD thing they wanted to do was take work home with them! And this included me too, when the clock hit 5:30 pm my work day was over.

I think in many instances allowing employees to work from home is a recipe for disaster and a supervisors nightmare as far as being sure that the work actually is getting done.

And why not offer access to further programmes on an app?

OK, I give up

It's all way beyond anyone's control, except those who control the purse strings. I'm glad I'm well over the hill and will be gone hopefully before the war of the machines takes over. It's like a Terminator II,III scenario. I can't unsee the scene when the boy and his mom are driving in the Ford Squire to Mexico to escape and stop for gas. He ask's his mom; We're not going to make it are we? People I mean. Or am I being paranoid?

No, it's not about paranoia in this case.
As Eddie mentioned about society's complacency, it has made it easy for corporations and government to gain power, manipulate, mandate, and seduce the public into almost anything they want.
Mike, you're "I'm well over the hill and will be gone hopefully before the war of the machines takes over" is something that I've also heard from friends and family before.
I've even joked about it too.
But in my own way, I've fought against the changes taking place, determined to keep my own individuality, my own sanity, and my own freedoms.
These are things that we all are entitled to from birth.
I've got things to do yet, and want to live long enough to satisfy my beliefs and passions - without this mess of interference, manipulation, etc., that society's being exposed to.
I've occasionally stated that "Whenever I hear about another questionable or suspicious rule/mandate/fad that's "supposed to" benefit society, I simply do the opposite! - some people call me a crusader, others call me a rebel.
It's kept me from becoming just another puppet, sheep, a part of the controlled society that's among us.

This attitude of mine of course has its issues at times,
When dealing with others that have been brainwashed, led, bought into the manipulation, and are convinced that they are right, and that I am some old fart "living in the past", I've often replied "So what was so wrong about the past?"
I get stares, and silence, and rarely a valid reply.
I believe in living your life as only you see fit, but avoid temptation which could take away your fundamental freedoms.
