I don’t think that speaks to my point. Capitalism is flawed with or without nepotism.

Nepotism obviously existed before capitalism, and it will surely exist at some level in the next economic system, but it’s not an either/or. There are many, many problems with capitalism that would probably still exhibit if nepotism somehow immediately ceased.

You don’t vote for president directly in the US, you vote for your state to send its votes to that ticket.

Nothing anybody will explain here will be as good as a quick video. I suggest searching your question into your search engine of choice

If nobody is paying attention, then nobody will care about not getting paid. It may sound disappointing, but I’m sure a German who wants something specific can find ways to get to it.

It’s not a big spoiler if you are paying attention to what’s going on in the episode, but Charlie thinks he is actually getting smarter from the pills and does things he thinks are smart but are not. The chess moves he makes are nonsense. The guy actually calls two checkmate moves in a row, which is obviously not possible if the first one was indeed a checkmate.

Not exact but it sounds familiar. My guess:

Show: It’s Always sunny in Philadelphia. Episode: Flowers for Charlie. Description: Charlie gets accepted in an intelligence study. At one point he plays chess with a scientist who is taking notes on his “progress”.

Yeah and it’s giraffe, not jiraffe. See how that gets us nowhere?

Debunked? Its a counterpoint to the fact that it’s pronounced that way because it’s spelled with a g. If that poor argument wasn’t used, the giraffe one wouldn’t have to come up. It’s not evidence of anything other than that letters can be pronounced in more than one way.

For the graphical thing, imagine pronouncing NASA wrong because of the way aeronautical is pronounce. Or underwater in scuba. World in WHO? The I in AIDS isn’t pronounced anything like immunodeficiency.

Your argument doesn’t work either.
