If a tiny 2 foot long cookie cutter shark can take chunks out of people, then any shark bigger than that with sharp teeth is equally if not more dangerous.

    Because most of the time, the reveal immediately results in a magical resolution of decades of behavioral issues stemming from the trauma.

    Which never happens in real life. A reveal is a huge step in the healing process but it doesn't mean the issue goes away. Maybe we cope better, maybe we regress maybe we relapse. But its seldom the clean outcome in the movies.

    This is the longest piece of horseshit I've seen all week.

    There is absolutely such a thing as too small a workforce. Higher prices for labor eventually means higher prices for goods. Until it all breaks down because you don't have enough working people for a functional society.

    Who takes care of the elderly or works essential jobs like healthcare? There are maximum ratios for emergency care nurses to patients. Even if you tripled their pay its not going to budge that ratio one bit.

    Its a funny episode. But its a false dichotomy.

    Robots with sapience are granted rights and don't make refrigerators or vacuum cleaners capable of abstract thinking and feelings. I'm looking at you Samsung. Washing machines and microwave ovens do no need to be "smart"
