Applying normal engineering practices where human lives are at stake, you build in a safety factor. Your design speed is 25 but it’s built to be safe to drive at 50. Drivers figure this out and do 50. Now you have no more safety factor.

If you can’t rely on signage, then you need to design roads that aren’t safe. There are some obvious ethical considerations with this plan.

If it’s not a tree, why call it a branch? Maybe branch doesn’t make any sense either. Maybe none of this makes any sense! Oh my God, what are we even doing here?!?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

It was a tongue in cheek strawman or if you want to be fancy, a pedagogical tool.

If “providing housing” is a job/service/whatever produced by workers then I, as a theoretical landlord, own some means of production and split the profits with all of the workers: myself.

It seemed like a funny twist of words.

Ah, Landlords aren’t the evil capitalist class then. They’re just a worker that owns the means of production and splits the profits evenly with themselves.
