Sounds like it wastes both sides’ time and money, but measuring up to determine who is wasting the most time and money doesn’t really help anything other than furthering Whataboutisms.
Ideally, we change to a system that doesn’t do that (nearly as much).
So then a person could make his living by interviewing for jobs he’s not qualified for and could never get?
That’s already a flaw of the current system, so no change means no new downside. People receiving unemployment usually have to prove they’re looking for work, but there’s not usually a requirement that you’re applying to things you’re likely to get.
Why wouldn’t they simply tax water use at progressive rates? If you use a lot of water, you have to pay a lot of money (ideally, towards water processing services).
Doing low-flow laws makes for easy loophole setups like this, not to mention simply buying a device in/from another state. I doubt their cops are kicking down doors for Suspicion of High-Flow Toilet.
You’re getting into the weeds about the definition of “work.”
Any definition of “work” that excludes calling, writing applications (AKA writing reports), emailing, interviewing (AKA meetings) etc. also excludes many paid positions.
“Why don’t old(er than me) people simply die and stop being leeches?” is a wild take.
Do you apply that logic to other people who take more from society than they (currently) contribute?
Wait 'til you hear that you’re “supposed to” pronounce the H in “who,” “what,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “which.”
You’re asserting you know what isn’t posted to Reddit and why, based on a hunch, citing your age.
I don’t think that’s a logical position, no.
I’ve been on Reddit for decades too, and I disagree with you.
Assuming that a post wasn’t made and made visible because it has key words that were censored isn’t based on logic; you’re guessing.
I type fast enough that to a 72 year old it might look like magic or a bot.
I don’t have any evidence either way as far as who uses old.reddit to submit versus who doesn’t, and I don’t think there is any.
Why do you think you’re able to detect a bot by their Reddit comments? I strongly suspect you’re assuming low-effort, poorly-written comments are bots, when in reality they’re probably just dumb people.
There’s no objective data to confirm or dispel your suspicion that there are zero few human Redditors (your hyperbole aside).
There’s definitely tons of bots posting and voting (and likely always has been), but I really doubt a large percentage of commenters are bots.

Sadly this is (very popular, according to comments here and on Reddit) copium. old.reddit.com visits are a rounding error, per the traffic stats of the normie subreddit I moderate:
Most people simply do not have the technical acumen and tenure on Reddit to know to type in that subdomain. As always, relevant XKCD (posted today on Lemmy, funnily enough):
At a guess, such cooperation would undermine Lenovo’s profit margin and would thus be a non-starter for them.
Enter government regulation, to pinch corporations by the ear and drag them to doing what’s right for society.
Apparently they need a better rate structure if they’re having to use low-flow laws as a crutch.
