Minion? That's what kids are for!
"Dad can I borrow the AspX? The guys want to road trip to Colonia this weekend."
"As long as you clean it inside and out and top off the gas when you get back. Oh, and do the Krait too while you're at it!"


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
