My shirt today is red. Do you know what else is red? Those buses in London!


Hah. Not even, though. Redness is a characteristic that means the same thing in the context of your shirt and a bus. Because there isn’t generally a competitive market for the service of “being governed” monopoly doesn’t even make sense there.

It is more like saying strawberries and ethyl methylphenylglycidate are both red tasting.


Fair point. Is that what they put in Code Red? Because that drink tastes damn red.


I dunno it was the first thing I came across for artificial strawberry flavor, haha.
