It's all bluster. When you have households and businesses both supported by dozens to hundreds of employees you can't simply sell your house and buy a new one. You'd need all new staff to cater to your needs, would have to get new business licensing and real estate for your businesses to move, there's just a whole lot more than pulling up stakes and moving state when you're a fat ass dragon sitting on a hoard of stolen gold.
We went to a restaurant that just servea bao sliders. My wife got the soft shelled crab thinking it would be crab meat. Nope, it was a breaded and fried whole crab plopped on a bao bun. She said it was good, just weird.
Years ago I worked at an ISP tgat went through a merger. They decided they were going to outsource customer service to another company.
We all got nice severances and 3 months prior notice where we basically didn't work because all calls were being routed to the new call center and we were just backup. What a great 3 months. We had card tourneys, spun up the companies old game servers and ran minecraft (alpha) on them, lots of fun.
Get laid off, fast forward a year and the outsource company has taken an 86% approval ratimg down to the low 30s.
They hired a lot of us back to completely rebuild the service department. I was tier 1 and got a 76% raise. I imagine others got better.
I forgot to include the bleach/peroxide they dumped in the water. I doubt this sleazeball bothered to make sure the paint would not be affected by bleach/peroxide.
Preface: I am not an expert here and have not seen a specific list of materials used.
If the liner is rubber and they painted it 'american flag blue' without using paint that adheres to rubber, is waterproof, and allowed to cure properly... you would see exactly what we're seeing with chunks of paint, not liner, floating to the surface.
How about, instead, we strip senators from congress and expand the housenof representatives to proportionally relfect the population.
