That is not what this article is about. It's about hospitalizing people who are not having a medical emergency against their will.

People can quit Uber/Lyft whenever. Indentured servitude cannot be quit.
There's a difference in "creating an opportunity for people" and "forcing them to work for you"
> this is the same argument that was used in favor of slavery.
Nope. There's a difference in creating a new choice for people and taking all choice away from them.
Rain, hail, snow, groceries, etc.
Bikes are the most dangerous form of travel by micromort mile.
Which is unfortunate but doesn't seem super unreasonable.
You only have a few months to find and fix bugs before beta software becomes full release.
And that's only if you found the bug in the beta version to begin with.
I lived for 7 years without a car in a big city. I finally moved to a place where cars were practical and will never go back.
No bus is point to point. Generally you need to walk, wait for the bus, take the bus (which is slower than driving because it makes multiple stops), get off the bus, wait for the next bus, and then repeat two or three times.
It can turn in 30 minute journey into a 90 minute one. Then you have to pay for the driver and the gas. If you live in a place where it is freezing cold or constantly raining that 15 minute walk to or from the bus could be a nightmare.
What about transporting things, like groceries? I couldn't carry both a gallon of milk and hardly anything else, let alone any small appliance. I relied heavily on Amazon and peapod, which is really wasteful and expensive.
We need to stop this obsession with public transportation.
Okay, problem with their tool in my opinion. It shouldn't let you select running ads on Instagram if you don't have an Instagram account... But anyway I get the account unlocked via customer service and try to edit the ad to remove Instagram integration.
Account immediately locked again. Contact customer support again and they can't tell me why it's locked but they're able to unlock it for me.
This time I delete the old ad campaign and try to start a new one. Account immediately locked again. Third time I contact customer service and they won't tell me why the account was locked.
Since it's the third time, my account is permanently locked out and I'm no longer allowed to run ads on Facebook.
Afaik I did nothing wrong and didn't break any of their rules.

There will always be smart people and brilliant artists. If we reduce population, they will just come at a slower rate, which is fine. Will just make them more special when they do come.
I hate people and definitely would love to see fewer of them.
