Star Trek economy.

An idealized form of capitalism where there is no wealth inequality, no exploitation of labor, and everyone's basic needs are provided for.

What's the alternative then?

Start homesteading. When you provide everything for yourself, you won't have to sell your labor to anyone.

"Looking for a new opportunity", "want to challenge myself more", "looking for something that aligns better with my interests" etc. Those are some of the usual lines you give in corporate America when you want out.

But in your case, you could just tell the truth. That you're in a temp position and you're looking for something permanent. That's a perfectly valid reason for interviewing.

Why are you censoring "Google"?

It's not propaganda, it's a basic logical conclusion. If you and a group of people decide to follow a set of rules together, i.e. create a society, you are surrendering a little of your freedom to do whatever you want whenever you want in exchange for some protection from others from doing the same.

Yes, that's the entire basis for the idea of the social contract. That you give up a little bit of freedom in exchange for security from living in a society.

I do agree, the whole "oops sowwy" with a sad Labrador vibe is a little irritating. But I guess they do it cause it's a harmless and layman-friendly response.

What I'm saying is that when you see one of these messages you should interpret it as "something is wrong on our end, nothing you can or need to do on your end, please hang tight as we're aware of the issue and working on it". They don't give you more info than that because that average person is probably not a dev and doesn't have any need for more details than that.

You're assuming they aren't already aware of the issue.
