Watching detective conan in america sounds expensive.

The Trojan horse wasn't made of Trojans, like the Spruce Goose wasn't made of Spruce. Nor was it made by Trojans nor filled with Trojans.
The name is misleading.

Would need to make sure to exclude costs like executive "compensation", stock buy backs, or any other methods used to artificially decrease profits to avoid taxes.

How many 20-year-olds could afford to invest $300 a month even if they’re being paid a middle class wage?

If you're making median income outside places like LA/NYC/SF and don't have children, it should be pretty affordable.

The place I work at doesn't offer a 401k either (technically I'm self-employed/contract worker, so I do offer myself a 401k), but even if it doesn't and you're not self-employed, IRAs have a $6500/year limit and that's something you just open yourself. And you can just open a brokerage account if you want more. Unfortunately, most people don't know these kinds of things, especially not at 20yo. There's definitely a education gap, which is a serious problem. And few people in their early 20s make the median wage and even if they are making that much, many are still buying lots of basic durable goods like furniture and kitchenware. So using 20 as a starting point is probably a little too optimistic...

If you only spent 36,500 a day, you'd probably die far far richer (like, 10s of billions) than you were born assuming you have it invested. You could spend more like 100k a day (adjusting up for inflation) and you'd probably almost certainly die a billionaire.

WalrusDragonOnABike , to U.S. News in Americans are confused, frustrated by new tipping culture, study finds

If the person is walking or biking, sure. If they're driving, then whether they get lucky with the lights should matter more for the tip cost than whether it was 1 small bag or 2 medium ones.

All you need is a series of rackets, balls, nets, tables of various sizes, and a giant court that you can paint onto and you can do it was any rng generator.

What if it goes through a series of splits into equal sized spheres as it is going through the atmosphere to minimize the SA:V ratio to what is necesary?

Meat is threatening their masculinity if they ditch it? /j

WalrusDragonOnABike , to Work Reform in How to smash the looms today - I've always loved tech. Now, I'm a Luddite. You should be one, too.

This whole discussion seems to not be about any underlying disagreement about tech and how it can have negative impacts on society (while giving the impression that it is about that), but rather the tone of the words used to expressed the idea. You keep having to respond to people who misunderstood your intentions because you did a pretty poor job of making it clear what your disagreements with Zeth0s were, so people assumed it was disagreeing with what he said (for good reason given how you start your comment).

What's he supposed to do? Blackmail, threaten, or kill most of congress? Until he has plans for those, having bills written won't do much but waste time that he could be better using talking about the ideas.
