That belt attachment that's like 'Hot Sauce Holster. Never be unprepared to add a kick to anything you eat. Perfect for restaurants and dinner parties that don't provide their own.' which are mostly novelty gifts and impulse buys that arrive and the buyer realizes WTF? I can't wear this.

Except our hero does wear it. All the time. When he goes out to pick up the mail he straps the bad boy under his coat.* He reasons that if it's sold, and he was given it as a gift, then it must be socially acceptable.

When he switches careers and becomes an actor he wears it on screen regardless of the role. New York businessman? Norwegian mountain guide? Competitive skier? Jetski racer? It goes over a suit, under a parka, over Lycra, and on bare skin.

Over the years I have met many people in Europe who took the TV depictions to be realistic and set their expectations accordingly. I met a McDonald's worker who asked how easy it is to get a work visa as a dast food worler because they want a house and a nice car. I told them that's an unrealistic expectations for working retail pretty much anywhere. He actually looked at me like I'm off my rocker and let me know that Phoebe from Friends works at a cafe or something (i dunno I don't watch Friends) and the guy from King of Queens delivers packages.


But there is a grain of truth here. I went to an open air museum of a company town here and there was one house provided to the feldscher (kind of a Physician Assistant) and one provided to the equivalent for veteranarians. They were huge and I seriously doubt a full doctor or veteranarian could swing it on a single income today. Not that everything was fine and dandy in those times but at least the homes for workers at this one company town would make modern young professionals jealous of their build quality and square footage.

And in our own time there was that US politician that was saying when he was working for minimum wage out of school he made $2 an hour so why are people complaining with what it is currently? And John Oliver I think pointed that that this is more than double than the highest state minimum wage today when you factory in inflation.

In some parts of the world we're continuing to move in the wrong direction. While wages have gone up for some due to COVID shortages, this is not always the case. (And lol you have surveys showing like only 6 out of 10 directors in charge of this believe raising wages is a good way to atteact more applicants. Because they failed microeconomics I guess.) Brew Dog is a Scottish brewer that boasted its ethical credentials. One of these was paying a minimum living wage for all employers. Not even a living wage needed to enjoy life. Just a realistic subsistance wage like 20% above the legal minimum. Now they've announced that all new brewery workers will earn the legal minimum like is standard for the industry. Profit number must go up!

A HR director really, really stresses that there's an archer range out back of the factory. That's the focus of all job posting and promotional materials instead of things like salary and insurance. Really going into detail as to what arrows are available and the history of different kinds of bodkins.

Sending Grandma to Tai Chi classes to help with her arthritis but she gets too powerful.

edit:

This is bad because she becomes famous and then intergalactic toughs come looking for her.

"Leave them out of it Zanor, I'm the one you want".

edit2:

One Punch Gran.

edit3:

The ebb and flow of this is gran goes to learn Tai Chi. Then she gets too powerful. At first the family tries to cover it up but then granny holds back a train from killing a kid that fell on the tracks. Then a guy comes because he wants to fight her. She dispatches him and this leads to a false victory in the middle of the film. Then the aliens arrive. Her family intervene "But she's just a little old lady" "Do not think you can fool us earthling, we have been watching, we know the grey one's power. Now join us or DIE!"

edit4:

Plot twist, she willingly joins the galactic cartel and is employed full time subjegating resisting planets. Family gatherings have become very awkward.

a snowman system of superiority based on interpreting the lines of your carrot nose

except you can just find and swap carrots to increase your social standing

other items as noses are verboten, of course

Cold Front makes great strides in admittedly twisted science to enable them to grow crops in even the heaviest of snow and permafrost.
A secret campaign is launched seeking the fabled carrot spear of destiny.
