I Imagine the companies treat their equipment maintenance about as well as their track maintenance.
How long till we get reports on the first worker being torn limb from limb when their power suit malfunctions from wear?
Exactly what I was thinking. No thanks, I'll pass. Edit: the most voted post is the happy oblivious one. Ignorance is bliss.
Fuck me for trying to be optimistic, right?
Of course business will try to exploit this to try and squeeze a little more labour from their workers, but what good is it in constantly being negative about developments like this?
I imagine that you would have complained about Henry Ford's crazy "40 hour work week" as a cynical ploy to drive up auto sales.
