If I had an investment account that would give me $10k per year, it would be worth about $125k. If I was entitled to $10k a year through a pension, wouldnt it be fair to say that entitlement is an asset that's worth (at least a portion of) that same value?

2 teachers, military and Congress. I'm not saying they're billionaires, or even that they're closer to one than normal.

What's especially wild is that the kilogram was still an artifact in 2019! Every single calibrated weight in the world, big and small... They all could be traced back to a single metal chunk in a french vault.

Uuummm... Ackshually Americans don't use imperial units, they use united States customary units. Which are similar, but just a smidge different.

https://amedia.concealedcarry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/12135010/atf-braces.jpeg these are just some of the gun laws you can accidentally break... And some of those "legal" options have been flip-flopped in recent years based on meandering policy decisions by the ATF.

It's very rare that people who wish that "guns were regulated like x" or "can't believe that guns are less regulated than y" have very little knowledge of what gun laws actually are like at the federal level, much less the archipelago of state laws.
