Huh, I always thought you were Ed from division 5. They keep things so tight lipped around here it's always hard to tell. Our weekly entrapment quota has turned into drinks at the bar with coworkers so frequently they revoked our slush fund and we have to bring six packs.

My grandfather gave me some dilapidated house in some place called Stardew something. It was a dump so I stayed at my job at Joja corporate. Some guy named Pierre wanted to buy it for like a fraction of what it was worth, real predatory guy. Last I checked it was infested with some sort weird bug. It almost sounded like it could talk, the weirdest things. Sometimes, I think about visiting, just out of curiosity, but then the quarterly reports come due, and keep forgetting about it. Recently, Pierre’s emails has gone from predatory lowball offers to ranting about the 'soul of the valley' and how my land is supposedly pivotal to some community revival fantasy. Honestly, if the bugs are half as persistent as Pierre, maybe they deserve to inherit the place.
Your paragraph would have stronger emphasis with a semicolon after 'working', not a comma. It must be working; there's a large crowd gathered outside my house with a guillotine. A semicolon is used to separate two independent clauses that are closely related in thought but could stand as separate sentences. It offers a stronger pause than a comma but is less final than a period.
100%, it can get even crazier too, if people think there is inflation then it causes inflation. Macro-economics isn't real and its 80% in peoples heads, 20% material conditions.
Inflation is governed by the supply of money. Monetary Policy controls how much money is in circulation and managed by the central bank. Fiscal Policy controls selling bonds to the public to make up for finance budget deficits without increasing inflation, and is managed by the government.
So the government borrows (e.g. sells bonds to the public) to raise money without increasing inflation.
Five hundred dollars? Are you serious? Just for an hour? That's absolutely ludicrous. I mean, listen, I'm a tech guy, right? I solve problems worth millions to companies. And even I don't pull down that kind of hourly rate. Let me break it down for you, because there’s no way the value adds up here. Just think about it logically, for the cost of one hour, I could upgrade my entire home entertainment setup and enjoy it for years. Or better yet, I'd throw that $500 into crypto. Now that's an investment. Bitcoin, Ethereum - hell, even some of the newer altcoins. Exponential potential returns. This? This is just... it's poor financial planning, is what it is.
Gee, what could go wrong with a ~50,000 pound vehicle that's potentially an automated death machine?
But then a philosopher could operate a switch between two moral dilemmas, do you really want /that/ reality.

With no accountability, accidents become a social cost, which the government is ultimately responsible for. Inaction is negligence.
When your fire insurance is worth more than your house.

Meat glue (Transglutaminase) is a heavily used food additive in the US and is GRAS (generally recognized as saf). Manufacturers don't need to report in their ingredients because supposedly the enzyme deactivates when it heats up. I was playing around with it in bread making to increase the amount of gluten in bagels. I stopped when I read some research papers that the health effects were not clearly understood and some people have raised some alarm bells that it might not be.
