@CiaraNi the other dynamic at play that makes it definitely related to capitalism is that a lot of the examples mentioned are about workers who are overworked and the product of downsizing. They just don’t have the resources or the motivation to do anything but press the button on the gizmo, or say “sorry we can’t do that”. if the capitalists paid more to for people with higher morale and better problem-solving skills, then we’d have places that weren’t crippled when the computer goes down.
