Explanation: Many early aviators died in crashes. However, many early aviators also survived numerous ~~crashes~~ acceptable landings and just went on to keep on flying.
Bipedal sheep.
That is the face of your self-loathing, pleased to be loathing you.
That appears to be one or two resorts of some kind, any idea what they were?
That's Delaware, for the uninitiated. The tax thing is because there's some lady's house in Delaware that's registered as the headquarters for about a zillion shell companies as a tax dodge, because of something something Delaware business taxes.
This is kind of similar to how it is in the US these days, too. There are still banks that have tellers, especially for drive through, since we love our cars, but far fewer. And I have been to banks here where there are no proper tellers.
Even in that case, the person who is helping you behind the counter is still an employee, drawing a salary (maybe plus commission, for things like loans, accounts, whatever). They're still labor, they're still having their labor undercompensated, they're still victims of theft.
The person in the image behind the counter is a bank teller.
I'm quite certain that when you go into a bank wherever you are, you're not greeted by an owner or executive behind the counter, waiting to cash your paycheck.
Bank tellers are not bankers. Bank tellers are labor, also victims of the bank, because their labor is not being fairly compensated.
Whew! Glad that kind of thing doesn't happen anymore! We really dodged a bullet!
Remember back when Dominos had “30 minutes or it’s free”? Yeah, if the delivery was 31 minutes, the driver paid for it, and didn’t get a tip for that run.
That’s why the drivers were crazy, they were trying to avoid paying for other people’s pizza and working for free.
I suddenly understand the name of the gas station “Esso”.
