I think you have it backwards. There was a time when the janitor got a decent salary and full benefits. A janitor could, for instance, take advantage of their company’s tuition assistance and work their way up to the executive level.

What has been invented cannot be uninvented.

Iced coffee does it so I’m guessing it’s not just heat (not a fan of hot drinks).

Man, now I’m flashing back to vanilla Everquest, where you had to level up specific schools of magic.  Just learned your first Conjuration spell to create your own food/drink?  Enjoy burning through 5 full bars of mana until you can reliably cast it even half the time.  Oh, and mana recovery required staring at your…

Get the fuck out of here with your facts about the happiest countries having elements of socialism. There’s no place for this in Trump’s America.
