18 billion yearly profit last I checked.

Not enough.

Never enough.

Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

I'm around your same age and have always been told immigrants generally good.

That's not a generational view you have there. I'm willing to bet that immigrant is a synonym for 'not white' by whoever in your past has said this.

Solution is stop using delivery services.

Holy shit, boingboing.net?

That's a site I haven't heard of in a long time.

It was one of the first websites I remember regularly visiting in the 90s, and looks like they haven't changed much since.

That's cool.

No.

It's cheaper to out source it this way because as their farmers are contractors they don't have to adhere to the legal responsibilities they would if they ran them in their own.

They can keep their contracted farmers in debt to them indefinitely and essentially have a class of indentured servants.

There is a record of the Senate debate on this amendment.

One questioned 'Why doesn't this include the president?'.

Another senator replied 'It does under the section of anyone who holds an office'.

The response was 'Ok, I was unclear on that'. And the debate carried on.

So the writers obviously intended this to include the office of the president.

I would argue that it's no longer 'egg' once it's carbon ash and therefore never melted before it's existence ended.
