  • Yes! Sadly, at least as near as I can figure, this is on purpose.

    People with disposable income can organize businesses, demonstrations, and communities. They may threaten the status quo.

    People that must work daily to not starve cannot organize anything. They may not even know their neighbours. They are exposed and vulnerable.

    Remember how in the early 2000's, it seemed we were on the cusp of a great turning point? More people, not nearly all people, had access to good paying jobs and disposable income? It seemed progress may finally start. Then 2008 wiped many people out. The new wealth was concentrated. (I am leaving a lot out.)

    Anyway, there are not as many people that can organize as one may assume. There will not be until fewer people are financially vulnerable.

  • As others have pointed out the issues, I will answer a different question.

    It would be cool to have a backup heart. It sits unused and quite until needed. Clearly some issues with experiencing the same conditions as the first heart. If it were biological, then it would weaken without use.

    But a small pump to survive a heart attack would be nice.

  • Great explation. One exception:

    which, by nessesity, means the parents aren't American either.

    As the speaker didn't witness the birth of their own parents, the speaker simply does not know if they are Americans. It is not a joke about immigrants. As you correct state, lt is a joke about an unwillingness to believe what one did not personally witness.

  • You don't.

    Worse, I may be a human today and a bot tomorrow. I may stop posting and my account gets taken over/hacked.

    There is an old joke. I know my little brother is an American. Born in America, lived his life in America. My older brother... I don't know about him.

  • Good news. Only several inches of snow slows traffic in MN, and only until the plows hit it. It is an accepted reason to stay home when the plows are not yet out.

    Also, I have been colder inside in warm places than in cold places. (In cold places, the doors must block the wind when closed.)
