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

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I can't tell when his first name ends and second name begins.
I'm imagining that guy spraying water in the face of a whimpering man chained to a radiator while yelling "Shut up! Bad roommate!"
Wait, were roommates supposed to be making our beds?
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.
They just forgot the part where the people that need roommates don't have money to buy a robot, or pay the subscription for the robot, or the "don't kill me in my sleep" premium upgrade for said robot subscription.
I needed that explanation
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
Does the robot pay the rent?
Why is my roommate making my bed?
Why isn't mine?!!!
Because people exist to be exploited by you. What other value could another person possibly have,?
No it costs $20,000. Then costs $400/month for the premium Roommate plan. $50 for the AI-compatible sheets only washable by your CoMpAny-ApProVeD washing machine.
Also you pay with your private data
Warning: Robot not responsible for any damaged goods, or murdered humans.
For that much I better be able to fuck it.
The robot that you can fuck just killed the "need a girlfriend" argument.
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
He thinks maids are housemates.
Tell me that the only person willing to live with you is your live-in maid without telling me that the only person willing to live with you is your live-in maid.
Maybe he thinks house maids is spelled housemates 😄
People need roommates because they don't make enough money to live on their own. He concludes that the reason they don't have enough money is because they aren't working hard enough for him because they have to do so many domestic chores. This robot promises to free you from the "profitless" enterprise of doing things that aren't making money for him.
I get that, and while that's super out of touch with pretty much everything, to me, that's the least weird thing about this
Lets go with his logic and pretend we do need roommates for chores.
Out of all of the chores he thinks I need help with he thinks it's making my bed? Not dishes, or cleaning, or shopping... making my bed? And not even my own bed, he thinks I have a roommate who comes into my room and makes my bed for me?
He thinks we all have strangers living in our houses to make our beds for us?
Yeah it's stupid as hell that this man thinks we have roommates as maids instead of people to help pay bills, but it's even more stupid that he thinks the #1 chore that we would need these people for is bed making. And now that there's a robot that can make your bed for you, that's it? That's the end of roommates?
I don't need a robot to cook for me or clean for me or anything else? Bed making is the end game?
WTF is wrong with this man. This is all so fucking weird
I get that
I don't think you got it.
They're saying the guy thinks you have roommates because you can't afford rent, not because you need someone to do chores. You make your own bed in his world, but making the bed and other domestic chores are so time consuming that you cannot work enough to make enough money to not have a roommate.
That is, he thinks if you don't have chores then you can work more, earn more, afford no roommate.
It's super out of touch as you said, but he's not suggesting roommates do your bed.
No, the robot killed the "need a maid" argument.
No, the robot killed Grandma when it glitched out (having never properly functioned to start) fell on her and punctured her lung.
There's an onion video about "Sony 's newest thing that doesn't fucking do what it's supposed to do.
I don't know about you, but I will be spending my entire evening trying to coax some semblance of functionality out of this motherfucking time vampire

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.
I was right there with you until the cottage cheese came into the scene. Damn shame.

Aside from the affordability thing...
Do rich people think we make each others beds? Tuck each other in for the night?
Yeah, man. Right after we shave the bread and bean and dole it out.
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.
