It feels like apartheid too. The boundaries keep the "filthy poors" outside but since their labour is required by the residents, they can get in via security checkpoints.
One thing I wonder about is what the middle class lifestyle is like in a place like China.
In India for example even within the middle class (a nondescript classification) there is a ton of variation. Over the last two decades there has been a rise in prominence of gated societies. A huge part of this lifestyle is having the most disadvantaged people perform manual tasks like cooking, cleaning, childcare for the middle class. In important ways the middle class lifestyle is sustained by the desperation of the most poor people.
Socially necessary in terms of manual labour pretty much means the average time taken to complete a labour. If the industry standard is that it takes 10 hours to make a coat but you are newbie at it and take 40 hours to make coat, your coat does not have not have more value because you had to invest more time into it. It is used to avoid debunked pitfalls like the mud pie argument.
I remember seeing the right image on reddit but I still have a hard time believing it's real. It's impossible to make deliveries while handling two children. If it's real I feel sorry for the children.
I heard in a Citations Needed episode that he funded schools so they would teach country music and tap dancing to children to suppress the cultural permeation of jazz music and some other non-white genre.

I am a bit slow but what does this even mean? Looks like corporate speak cranked up to 11.
I still use google. If I have a programming related query I use it normally. Otherwise I search for example "best cheap iems reddit" because Google has cannibalised itself by the means of SEO.
This woman is completely clueless. Sounds like she genuinely believes the organisation is what they claim to be while she is being kept in the dark about the inner workings.
Citations Needed episode on gambling is pretty good. Relevant especially if you live in the US or Australia. Not sure what the gambling scene is like in Western Europe though I know that sports bookies are ridiculously popular in the UK. Half the teams in the Premier League have online betting sites as their shirt sponsors.
