@HarryStebbings Avg (American) commute is ~30 min, so ~1 hour/workday, x260 workdays/year = ~32 workdays/year of time dedicated to work that's not paid (opportunity cost). ~1 month/year/employee.
136M Americans commute. Avg monthly income: $6228. Total cost, ~$850B/yr.
Is my math wrong? π€
@tuuu28283 I do not. I own several fedoras (felt, leather, and straw) and some cocked hats or "tricorns" (leather and felt), as well as several baseball caps that are more souvenirs than actual clothing. I do have one straw beach hat that is in the basic shape of a cowboy hat.
@emilykmay If two people hug at a funeral, a graduation, a wedding, or just after a long separation, thatβs intimate but not sexual.
But if you see those same two people making out in bed, any normal person is going to think they want to have sex.
@emilykmay "Non sexual touch" is a handshake, a high give, or a hug.
Make out in bed with another and try to explain to your partner or spouse that it was "non sexual touch." Good luck.
@DrunkRepub There's no way Americans wouldn't immediately start adding stuff and calling it "Carolina Pub Roll" or "Italian Pub Roll" and it would quickly just evolve into a regular sandwich.
@GS_VCactivist@CreeCoder Moreover, the two Johns mentioned would be multi-billionaires in adjusted economic power, Rockefeller halfway to being a trillionaire himself.
@StephenLimbaugh If someone put this in a movie, people would sneer that it was contrived and unrealistic. And, yet ... here it is.
A meteorological Tiffany Effect.
@naeriface All the other placements are fairly benign (if we believed in that) so the conjunction is a neat surprise for people once they get to know me.
