The comment means "you throw away the shirts with holes, so obviously any shirt you have from 2010 has no holes". Unless every single new shirt the GP has has holes in it (which they don't), we can't draw any conclusions from this, except "some shirts from any year last a long time and some don't".
It's a small factor, but humans evolved in the tropics. Ancestral humans has very dark skin because of the tropical UV exposure. Then when some moved into Europe and Asia, selection pressure means they rapidly lost their pigmentation because they weren't getting enough vitamin D.
Most of the gains to society in pursuit of alcohol have probably already been gained, and have paid dividends long ago. What’s left is the alcohol industry, which is huge and fairly consolidated, but I think home brewing is legal in many places for your own consumption. There are a huge number of microbreweries with restaurants and bars attached where I live, which is a startup to a certain reading. Folks are finding new yeasts and making new recipes. The wine industry is older than many hills.
The losses to society in pursuit of alcohol are very high, and technology might only enable more people to make poor choices after drinking, which is not a good thing at all, but safer options are also enabled by tech, like ride share services.
Technology is a tool to be used, and using alcohol poorly reflects on the user as much as the society which normalizes and enables poor use. Alcohol is just so old and established it just doesn’t even register as being a technological invention or byproduct itself, but it is only fair to situate it as such in this context alongside technologies and social issues that we can understand and mitigate the negative effects and externalities of.
You seem to be new here, so I tell you how it works (I didn't downvote, I'm just here to eat popcorn and watch the birth of another Russia): Low effort top level comments on hot topics are downvote bait.
Why it's low effort: You claim things are out of control for the police. You don't explain why, or how this is different from previous situations when marines were not needed. It just reads as a +1 post.
> There's very high taxation of high income individuals (60%)
55.9% *, at highest bracket. And when you get there, you usually have means to have at least some of your income as capital gains, which is uniformly taxed lower. I.e. you don't become a high income individual, you become an owner of profitable family business.
Edit: I said originally, "55.9%, marginal", but that was wrong. Corrected.
Most of the time being very good doesn't matter, when you're thrown into a process that's designed to extract mediocre work out of everyone, regardless of how good they are.
