if we're specifically referring to email-job-but-people-die-without-it, healthcare receptionists? if they don't do their jobs well, people lose out on critical scans and appointments
but that's more phone+fax than email so I dunno if it counts.

if my phone is lost I can't:
-go to work (2FA)
-go to school (online LMS 2FA)
-get government services (2FA + phone-only systems)
-access my data (gdrive, icloud 2FA)
-get a taxi/rideshare (2FA)
-order food (2FA)
-access banking (2FA)
-use my watch
such a risky bottleneck.

Counterpoint: in the real world you often have to solve problems with limited information and resources.
An open-book exam encourages relying on your notes/internet, reducing independent problem-solving ability.

8am wake up
8:30am-5pm work
5-8pm gym and personal time (an hour of driving)
8-9pm dinner (often only real meal of the day)
10-11pm talk to gf and then sleep

the employer later clarified that this 8am meeting was only once per quarter (sync with european division) and was outlined in the hiring/onboarding documents.

pre-teen culture is still very present in the form of influencers and online spaces, but the critical issue is that due to market dynamics these influencers/spaces are incentivised to sell products which maximize profit, rather than any actual market fit

I know Ryan is talking metaphorically here, but as a fun fact, this was not how global trade was ever done, even at the height of ww2.
Most sea trade was unescorted. In ww2 the goal of allied navies was mostly to proactively hunt down commerce raiders, as that was more effective
