Had nuclear energy been done correctly, it would've been. It's never going to
happen in this country. We are probably heading into another "dark ages" or at

Hmm. How to state tactfully.
The urban demographic that tends to buy the S Class used tends to buy them to

Death.
Collectively?
Inflation, stag-flation, shortages, and possibly isolated instances of looting
and food riots. Those that live in gated communities are probably in for a rude

You use the fan to keep yourself cool, whilst paying someone treble an hour (or
more) what you earn at your position to fix whatever is broken. (That you could
