reminds me of the time when an artist, protesting defending architecture, created a public park bench with spikes that would retract for a little while if you inserted money in - a commentary on intentionally not allowing the homeless places to sleep comfortably.
then people came along and were like “that’s amazing, can you install them in my park?”.
someone would look at this and go “i see an opportunity to use this on someone! if they’re stuck here turning crank and they can’t afford to stop…adverts, paid promotions…etc”
Oh no, not a Pay to Win x HostileArchitecure collaboration!!
This is giving me peak ABoringDystopia vibes...

I didn't know about that. That's just horrible.
I loathe how much you're right about this.
It should also drop $100 bills out the back side, into the lap of a fat dude in a top hat smoking a cigar.
Look, I'm fat and I smoke cigars. I don't hate the homeless but I promise I can change if there's money involved.
This is the beginning of those thingies from Rick and Morty that power Ricks car in the miniverse (or what ever the fuck he called it). Big corps are watching.
So can I come up to it and hook up a small electric motor to power the crank?
Yes but know that you're taking away the chance for a hardworking American to earn money :)
Work smarter, not harder.
I bet nobody would refill it.
The minimum wage rate in New York is $14.20 per hour as of December 31, 2022. The minimum wage rates differ based on industry and region. The minimum wage will increase each year until it reaches $15.00 per hour
Fucking peg it to inflation rather than stopping at $15. Add a lag time if you have to in order to stop runaway inflation but I'm so fucking tired of fixed prices getting baked into law and never updated. Minimum wage should guarantee a certain standard of living and that means it needs to increase with inflation.
Ah, so almost 2 pennies every 4.97 seconds instead.
Weird that the price increases of basically everything is updated constantly, but the minimum price of labour takes a uphill battle once a decade to move it an inch.
better off earning Fifteen Million Merits
