I believe it's a parody of the people that will gab any nonsense to rail against taxes.

Besides, from the income of putting prisoners to work obviously.

First Elsass-Lothringen, now Heckler & Koch... when are they going to stop taking our stuff?

(Yes, I know the actual history is more complex. I'm just memeing.)

When it's done to bad people, sure. When done to him it obviously wasn't a bad thing because it was rigged and unfair and all that, because obviously he couldn't do any wrong.

(That's a sarcastic rendering of what I believe to be his logic)

For being mean to him? He's a kid throwing around words he heard but doesn't understand. It means doing something bad to people, and that's enough for him. More worrying is the second point - it might be enough for his cult too. I fear things are going to get ugly.

That's the other option, of course: If your employees are happy, they don't need to form a union to press complaints.

If you do not act you are not absolved of morality because you had a choice. You made a choice and your morals were tested.

You hold the opinion that deliberate inaction is an action in itself, that the worth of lives can be quantified and from that conclude that a failure to reduce a loss in life is tantamount to condemning those lives to death. That conclusion is valid under those premises, but the point of the dilemma is that not everybody agrees with those premises.

...what kind of cup? Does a Crema + double Espresso count as one or as three?

It would be Musical Roulette essentially

Maybe they just forgot to brainwash them with anti-union propaganda

Trivium found on Wikipedia:

The guy that commercialised it was a teetotaller and wanted it to be called Root Tea, but because his target market were miners in Pennsylvania, he opted to call it Root Beer instead.

From my understanding, that title would be more accurate too, as it is produced from molasses with extract rather than grain mash, but my source is "skimmed Wikipedia" on both topics, so you should probably default to skepticism.

Either way, it apparently doesn't taste like beer, comes in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic* variants, usually doesn't contain caffeine and has a ton of flavours and variants from all over the world. If you care, you probably can find some.

*The process does involve fermentation, so I assume it will contain some ethanol still, even if it's below the threshold for the "non-alcoholic" label, in case that's an issue for you.

I mean, only England seems to be highlighted. I don't know mug, I don't know if I've ever tried root beer, I don't think I'd miss it.

Still, there are some nice things I like from England - Games Workshop, for instance, some Internet buddies, probably more things I'm not aware of...

I guess I could find people that enjoy root beer (or are in dire need of potable hydration of any sort) and see about donating it to them. I could sell some through local retailers and restaurants to cover the expenses.
