Its not "water" anymore its "Cayenne Drink".

Do you have any water? "no"

I love your polymer notes. Makes our greenbacks look like antiques.

There absolutely can be with savings outside of government pension to make that "the children/grandchildren" time, but current government based systems aren't generally designed and built for that today.

If he, and the rest of that society want that, it will likely mean substantial tax increases. If that populous is fine with that, then it should be pretty simple for lawmakers to make those changes into law. Given that "the children/grandchildren" time not only isn't in law currently, and that lawmakers are increasing the retirement age to 70, it doesn't sound like there is support from the voters for that change.

"I've paid my taxes all my life. There should also be time to be with children and grandchildren," Mr Jensen told outlet DK.

I can't speak to the history of government supplied pension in the EU, but in the USA, our version (Social Security) was never meant to provide "a time to be with children and grandchildren". The expectation was that most people would die before being unable to work, and Social Security provided a means for the elderly that lived to be housed and fed until they died. Social Security was designed to prevent living elderly from being in absolute poverty never to provide a time of respite before eventually dying.

Better late than never. While the momentum is here, get rid of the nickel too.

I'd be very tempted to install Firefox in my local appdata folders (which doesn't require admin rights to install), then install a theme to make FF look like Edge with something like this..

Still use real Edge browser for work stuff, but FF for less-than-work stuff.

Your shop rate is what you charge the customer wanting the seat done right? So in our example here (allowing for speculation because we don't have specifics), the customer would be charged $100, and the internal labor costs would be $50 (because we were told there were 2 seats). So a 50% profit margin. However, that doesn't take into account any of the fixed costs of running the business or maintaining the machines. I also assume that this work has some amount of seasonality to it so having consistent work may be difficult, meaning larger fixed costs to cover time between paying jobs.

Does that sound right?

The Oral B knockoffs can be had for about $1 each or less. They have models that use the same heads for almost 20 years.

Her bid for the 2 seats were 25$ each. He only chose mine because she’s been out sick all week & he needs them done by Friday.

Dumb question because I don't know your industry. What would a customer pay to have these 2 seats done that he is paying her $25 to do?

I can't remember the last time I've bought a toothbrush. Every time I go to the dentist for a cleaning I'm given a toothbrush for free. I've since switched to electric, but still have a whole bunch of toothbrushes from dentists past. I'm slowly going through them using them when I travel.

Ireland is missing from this picture. Americans love going to Ireland.

I feel you, but this work pays relatively well. If the work wasn't a bit soul destroying it would pay quite a bit less.
