Friends and neighbors are the primary people I don’t answer the door for.

Apple also controls all methods of transportation to the mall.

The only link between organized retail crime and any other illicit activity is money. If a group is into organized retail crime, chances are they are into other illegal money making schemes, as well. That doesn’t mean the different activities are somehow intrinsically linked together.

Idk, I highly value speedy pizza delivery

I’m worried about the 10,000,000x version which may emerge organically at some point in time.

If this is not worth it for you (maybe it is because of amenities), couldn’t you just buy a place closer to where your parents live?

As a TSA-precheck member, I’ve never felt like part of the ruling class until today. Bow before me and tremble!

You are correct. The parent’s home plus some assets of two other individuals probably totaling a max of $5 million but nowhere close to $250 million - which was a stupid amount to set in the first place. Either require a reasonable bond amount or deny bail.

That’s why Banana Stands will never lose their popularity.

Idk, this article seems hopelessly naive. So, the author would essentially like to go back in time to a less morally ambiguous internet when people (i.e. techies and nerds) had engaging, thoughtful, and respectful conversations where each emerged a better person. Not gonna happen. The future of social networking looks a lot more like Twitter (but meaner) than it does to the halcyon days of IRC.

I don’t believe the goons would be operating on the principle of your moral right to the furs, rather they would be taking the more practical approach of believing you can provide them with a better quality of life than the next guy (and that they don’t have the skills to acquire furs on their own)

If the bodyguards had the ability to expropriate greater quantities of wealth, they wouldn’t be bodyguards.

Sure you can overpower me and steal everything I have - once. Or you can join me and I’ll provide you a better living than those others for the rest of your life.

As a group expands in size, don’t the opportunities for an individual to amass wealth, and then translate that to power, also increase significantly?

My peasants do net fairly sizable tax revenue (largely in sheep, some gold as well) but I would hardly call that “passive”, what with all the galloping around the countryside with my pikemen and all!
