>Raising wages has an inflationary effect on the prices in the restaurants/bars
That implies consumers spend differently if they know the actual cost ahead of time, otherwise service inclusive pricing would make no difference. ie the whole industry is exploiting anchoring effects.
Removing anchoring effects would make restaurant businesses less profitable, and consequently the properties that host them less valuable, so lower rents.
There are clear incentives for pushing an inflation narrative.
Last year the UK ATC system crashed when it "encountered an extremely rare set of circumstances presented by a flight plan that included two identically named, but separate waypoint markers outside of UK airspace".
>they'll claim they are "Security related barriers" and therefore exempt?
Why would it be exempt?
The obvious cynical ploy is extending the EULA idea and apple becoming a phone leasing company.
Going from hardware you don't really own, to hardware you really don't own.

I'm afraid that's sadly the way to go, because it aligns incentives... It incentives Apple to make the most robust and repairable devices, and to maintain software as long as possible (BTW that's the business model of Commown, a cooperative lending smartphones, which IMO is good).
An example of this business model being good for long-term support are the HGW and STB in France: They are all lent by the operators, and have stellar support and maintenance. The best-in-class example there is the Freebox Revolution. STB and HGW released in 2011. Running Linux 5.15 in production, upgrade wip to 6.1 (and of course further is planned). Still receiving new features. And they are still being shipped to new customers 12 years later (at reduced pricing of course).
(Please note that simply lending the device isn't enough, you also need actual competition in the market. An US operator lending a HGW has no incentive to keep it working at all since they are usually in a monopoly anyway...)

I asked an LLM - it came back with "overexertion".
>Using this definition, it’s clear that the appropriate amount of [overexertion] for any activity is zero.
