Well at least now we know who’s responsible for this:

As far as I'm concerned people can drag massive wheely luggage through the airport all they want if they'll just please for the love of FSM stop bringing it on the subway. Why are you dragging all that crap home and back every day?

I worked as a checker for years as well and share this frustration. I had to shake my head when I read, “If you get good at it, you can walk out with a cart of groceries in less time than it would take a checker to scan and bag them for you.” No way. A competent checker will beat these awful machines every single time.

Good thing the question wasn't about "need" but about what makes "middle class." It's convenient how you're just ignoring that.

I'm looking forward to it only insofar as I use Office 2013 on my Windows machine at work, so assuming the commands are laid out in a similar manner, this will make it easier for me to switch between the two.

As somebody whose work sometimes bleeds over from 9 to 5, having my email on my phone actually gives me more freedom. Otherwise my options are (1) carrying around a second phone, or (2) making sure I'm somewhere near a computer.

I hate this trend. "Lots of people are making this mistake, so it's okay now." Sort of like how "literally" now also means "figuratively."

Believe it or not, the PIDS on Metro are almost 15 years old!

<i>Are bullet trains similar to Amtrak in America?</i>

That's not what he said, and also IT'S A JOKE. Goodness gracious!

I can't believe Adobe hasn't given up their Creative Cloud BS yet.

This practice is ridiculously unproductive and shockingly commonplace. It's also a reality that the "quit being so lazy and just get a second/third job, you stupid poors" crowd does not understand.

I've heard multiple theories for why this happens (from the same reporter! make up your damn mind). It sounds like the camera gets all worked up but then when it doesn't catch somebody in the act, it has to do something with the energy. I guess they're worried about red light camera blue balls or something.
