The question is - should we solve all 4, or like OG stating the answer with only 3 (or less) would be enough?

From the rules:
Quote: First person to post the correct answer is the winner. A solution is recommended.
So @super wins and gets to set it tomorrow because he used the word even if he didn't have a full solution.

I cannot find a definition which gives "plead" as the meaning of adjure.

It's also a way to reduce carbon emissions by your employees, given they can live and work in close proximity and don't need to commute.

Work from home and eliminate the commute altogether.

So now the new era for work would be company changed to company based towns
|

Not the first, nor will it be the last: Port Sunlight - Wikipedia[^], Toyota, Aichi - Wikipedia[^]
Then there were Company Towns[^] which went even further: owning the residences, shops, bars, theaters, brothels - and paying in company scrip that can only be spent there. A form of slavery in many cases: you couldn't earn enough "real money" to ever leave.

I'm always surprised how many people don't know about company towns. It goes back to the era where towns were built around mining spots. The fun part is even if they do pay you in real money, because they control the local economy your effective income is whatever they want it to be.

I do know about those, but learned that they forced to stop the practice as it was almost(?) slavery...
And now the case of the golden-cage to make it look better...

Sixteen Tons, by Johnny Cash. That's where I learned, as a kid, about the whole concept.

Hey man - the military's been doing it like this for years, and it works pretty good. As a Google employee, the only time you would need to worry is when they give you a uniform and a rifle, and ask you how you feel about jumping out of 'planes.
