Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.
I knew someone who lived in the same block as a well known motorcycle appreciation society. It was an incredibly clean and safe area. And the local dive bar was fun without a hint of shadiness or trouble. They did not shit where they ate.
No. It was a novel from the 1960s maybe. There was a government department of telepathic planning or something. That scene was where a character was getting a tour of the recruitment facility.

It means you are alive. Welcome to earth.
Trickle down economics.
I’m leaving you.
Yes it has. But species survival is more important.
It’s the pots/envelopes explanation or income streams is how I hear monies used. Moneys would refer to types of currency since money is an uncountable noun. Like fish and fishes.
There is almost no genetic diversity among them. You can skin graft or transplant organs between any two cheetahs without fear of rejection.
Why does anyone care? The only issue I could see is if you want to change your name to “Tom Cruise” or “Elon Musk” for the purpose of perpetrating fraud. Otherwise who cares? That’s the whole point of being able to change your name.

In my jurisdiction that is exactly how they do it. No field sobriety test is used. Just roll down the window and blow. Refusal is the same penalty as a DUI and will earn a trip to the police station for the real test.
