This is a play on a quote from the Unabomber. "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."

"The idea that all of the world should be measured in dollars to stockholders is actually a relatively new idea. It used to be that we thought that businesses had their purpose. Your purpose was to be making newspapers or fountain pens or whatever. And now we act as though the only purpose of a business was to enrich the people who trade it on Wall Street… Of course you’ve got to have profit, of course you’ve got to support your ownership. But that’s not why we’re doing it. We’re doing it because publishing a newspaper is a crucial thing to be doing." ~Andy Barnes

Correct. The independent variable being the number of items and the dependent variable being the time it takes to run said number of items.

Time should be on the y-axis. It's the time it takes to execute, given a set of items.

One penny-cup. That is the answer to the first question. The answers needed units.

Also, it's not unsolicited when people are voluntarily reading what he wrote.

> I'm the owner of a business [...]

If he divorces his wife, could she potentially get part ownership of the company?

But what assumptions are people making? It's easy to say you want equality of wealth, but life is more complex than that. There are clearly paths in life that can take you down to the lowest low or to the highest high, both from the same starting point. I went to high school with kids who's parent all had similar social status and weath, but our personalities created a wide wealth gap between us.

The conclusion by a friend's father, when he went from Minneapolis to Chicago and back, was that the TSA only pulled a side young females (20s & 30s) for full body scans.
