Ok, thanks. I totally get the massive debts and his name being a liability (at least to the people who have enough money to buy what he's selling).

I've gone through many pairs of headphones too, I've worked from home for years and had a long-distance relationship in a time before smartphones (and before cheap wireless headphones) so Skype+headphones was the solution. Both driving over them with an office chair and accidentally pulling them were real dangers and caused real damage.

Now I just don't use them anymore, since I have meetings on a company laptop, and the relationship is much closer.

It's not the same care though. Wireless earbuds come with a box. For regular ones, I'd have to make a suitable box, and also carefully roll the cables every time.

The battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones.

I don't know how you use your headphones, but in my case I switched to wireless because every single pair of wired headphones I had would break. Usually the cable, earbuds because they were in my pocket, and the overhead ones I'd drive over with my office chair.

Switched to wireless a couple years ago, no issues since then.

NY real estate, which is struggling

Sorry, what did I miss? Isn't NY real estate the place where a 200sqft apartment costs millions of dollars?

That's still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

The Federation doesn't have capitalism either (well, again this depends on the writer, but Picard was quite clear about it in one episode).

"Team restructuring" is so much fun, you never know what you're going to get.

Your boss's boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it's going to be, until the end of the meeting.

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

Yeah me too, I thought he was like Jim Crow, or Tom Cotton.

Thus beginning the curse of Tom Hanks and transportation.
