They make a ton of difference if you're standing on a hard floor for more than an hour or two. Still worse than something to sit on but stools are a luxury beyond the reach of American workers.
The very poor are held up as a threat to get people to work in ahit conditions for bad pay. The economy requires a certain level of unemployment in order to function. Too high and the wheels don't turn. Too low and employers lose leverage, then people might start to unionize.
Gotta get out of WASP neighborhoods, there's tons of good American food developed (mostly by immigrants and slaves) over the hundreds of years since colonization. And it's not like the native population was eating dirt.
Heavy and fragile. Fine for around the house but a poor choice for throwing in a gym bag and should not be used near pools or other bodies of water where broken glass is an invisible hazard.
"Reward" in this case was just "not punish" because we've made the right to life contingent on financial gains. The patent system is a failure and mostly serves to grant wealthy people more wealth by sponsoring the actual geniuses and creatives in exchange for legal ownership.
Bell pepper thing is false. Green ones are usually underripe red bells but the other colors are all equally ripe. This is easy to fact check: look for less ripe peppers at the store, they will be red with green splotches rather than yellow or orange. Or you can shop for bell pepper seeds online.

Being expensive demonstrably does not reduce driving in any significant way. The near-total lack of functional alternatives needs to be addressed.
Ooh, the first one please. IP law is in a terrible place and the copyright system should be wiped out.
