What does this mean?
- mpclark 7y agoWherever two or more people assemble, somebody gets to make a profit from it?
- dpark 7y agoOkay? But that doesn’t make any sense because most assemblies (see: employment) of people don’t involve alcohol.
- swagasaurus-rex 7y agoWell, employment would mean social interaction at the workplace is privatized. Unless its government work. Then it would be fraternizing.
- dpark 7y agoSo pick literally any other social interaction that doesn’t require alcohol consumption. Aside from literal alcohol tastings, I’m not sure that any social interactions require alcohol.
