I get the point but whenever I see this argument I think it underestimates how heavily armed the government is. Last century, governments used tanks to oppress (Soviets 1953 in Berlin and 1968 in Prague, Chinese 1989 on Tiananmen Square), nowadays they have drones and robots are under development. I don't see people having the guns to defend themselves against any of these.

Also the drainage holes are pointless in the middle as lowest point where the water will run will be at the edge. You can achieve the same by holding the lid on the pot slightly ajar.

I put it back in the pot to keep warm and only take out one portion at a time.

"The president’s argument during the State of the Union address was probably not that wage redistribution and suppression doesn’t exist, but instead that the level of wage dampening that immigration is actually responsible for in the broader scope of the problem pales in comparison to the wage suppression that has occurred since multi-billion dollar companies decided to prioritize rewarding shareholders first and workers last." www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/01/immigrants-or-executives-whos-to-blame-for-wage-stagnation/424032/
but of course, blaming immigrants gets you more likes/votes

oh, if only it were that simple..:

"our economy is optimized for financialization, not labor/earned income", "[economists'] explanations include automation, globalization/ offshoring, the high cost of housing, a decline of corporate competition (i.e. the dominance of cartels and quasi-monopolies), a failure of our educational complex to keep pace, stagnating gains in productivity, and so on." www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-08/real-reason-wages-have-stagnated-our-economy-optimized-financialization?page=

And according to what-if.xkcd.com/31/ the internet will not overtake it bandwidth-wise in the foreseeable future..

the second-to-last comment makes it sound that they established in therapy that there was no evidence for Gray cheating and it was all in Green's head (though it looks now like it was not). So they're still on first chance

good thing it probably wasn't coined by Cicero then: snopes.com/ciceros-view-of-life/

It's a homonym (same word, different meaning). Synonyms are different words with the same meaning.

Not sure if my experience counts as mine had already grown out so they did not have to be operated out of the gums, just pulled out like any other tooth under local anesthesia. No pain during or afterwards though, one of my most pleasant visits to the dentist.

I was gonna sarcastically point out the species that were hunted to extinction, but apparently that actually works (at least it helps preserve the remaining population of a species on the brink of extinction) according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting#Conservation_tool and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting#Conservation.
But still, examples of animals hunted to extinction exist (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Species_made_extinct_by_human_activities) albeit that happened without the hunters having to pay for hunting them (so different incentivation mechanisms at work there).
