    What I meant was, I don’t think “pay a human intelligence to do those things [laundry, dishes] for you” scales well for me. Or the the average person. We regularly don’t make 10x of what a housemaid costs, so we do that job ourselves. Plus, maids aren’t really part of our culture anymore.

    What works exceptionally well, though, is machines. I think both my washing machine and my dishwasher do all categories on the Performance–Cost–Convenience. It all comes out clean, they’re absurdly cheap for the labour I don’t have to do. And it’s convenient.

      Right… My original comment you responded to was pointing in that direction, which is why it’s confusing. It sounds like you’re debating against yourself 😅
