Art Buchwald (I think?) defined a taxi second as the smallest unit of time known to man -- it's the time between light turning green and the taxi driver behind you honking at you.

K.J. Charles's review of For Richer, For Poorer
Outstanding memoir which is about a lot more than poker (which is good because I got to the end still with zero clue how poker works). Deeply likeable--engaging, moving, funny, frank, very tense at po...

Some people think the threat doesn't apply to them. But there is nothing you can do to prove you're a citizen to a govt that doesn't want you to be, b/c the way you prove it is by giving them your documents. and then they have your documents.
& that's if they don't change the rules retrospectively.

"threat" is important here, because they don't even have to do it to everyone; they just have to do it to enough people to frighten everyone else into accepting second-class citizenship: "don't make trouble or..." "don't ask for higher wages or..." "don't unionize or..." "don't protest or..."
The threat to deport undocumented immigrants is a threat to deport documented immigrants is a threat to deport the descendants of immigrants is a threat to deport anyone who they think looks like an immigrant is a threat to deport anyone who disagrees with them
