That's the secret, and it's how they keep it hush hush: they don't take dollars, only shoes. Shoes for the wealthy is like Tide pods for the incarcerated: underground currency. It's more difficult to hide a shoe in your prison-pocket, but I think the wealthy have people for that.

We just got a set for my son for his birthday. He likes the routine. We have a drip coffee procedure for us parents and I think he likes having his own thing. That said, he was disappointed in the set. The whisk doesn't work as well as the electric one we have for frothing milk. The cups aren't exactly his cup of tea, all puns intended. Etc.

I think it was important that he got the set so he could learn what he likes and doesn't like about the process. Lord knows we've gone through a dozen coffee gimmicks over the years trying to find the best brew. That is our experience. Good luck and have fun; it really is about the simple pleasures.

Nice one.

You just beat me to it. They had to rush the last episode since it was canceled, but overall a solid show that had an interesting take on a common premise.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

This statement has not been found in Thomas Jefferson's writings, although it captures some of the ideas that Jefferson expressed in the Declaration of Independence, e.g. "...when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government..."

First attribution of the above quote was 2006. I like the "tyranny" substitution.
