  • Because nobody has answered with the other versions of a router, allow me.

    A router (pronounced ROW-ter, like an argument, not as in rowing a boat) is a woodworking tool that digs channels, rebates and moulds on wood. It can be a hand tool (old) or a power tool (modern). The hand tool is primarily a chisel held in a support that is scraped against the wood to make grooves and rebates. The power tool uses a rotating bit that can trim, follow a pattern, groove and rebate or put a moulding on an edge. It is an essential tool for any cabinet maker or kitchen fitter, and very useful for joiners or carpenters too.





  • Are you talking about communism or socialism? You shouldn’t conflate the two. Both are different from each other and you.

    The peak of human prosperity

    You’re looking at this purely economically - prosperity isn’t only financial and this is where you’re failing to understand what wealth actually means. It’s more than what’s in your bank account.

    But you’re correct that actually taxing the wealthy correctly would alleviate some of the problems using that to fund social programs would be a good start. That is what many European countries do - many are classed as Social Democracies for that reason.

    Unfortunately I have read a lot of history so am not blissfully ignorant. But please don’t gatekeep thoughts or pontificate on “how smart you are”. It’s rather crass. Talking down to people only makes you seem gauche. There’s enough of that in the world.
