"If you can make $30 an hour as a digital freelance marketer (a job that did not exist a generation ago), then you won't accept less than that from working in food service."

Yesterday's food service workers are today's web marketers. This might explain why the www has become so polluted with garbage

All I know is, if millions of people are thrown out of work, but billionaires become trillionaires, society won't be stable.

Since AI is the future, here is what AI says (which is basically sourced from a couple Reddit posts):

"The cost to repair an AC in Hong Kong varies by the problem, but basic repairs can range from approximately HKD $500 to $1,000, while major repairs like a compressor or refrigerant leak can cost HKD $1,500 to $4,000 or more. Inspection fees are often around HKD $500, with the repair costs and any needed parts being quoted separately. "

Basic repair US$64 - $129 Major repair $193 - $515 Inspection $64

Somehow, American HVAC prices are orders of magnitude higher than that.
