Another example is "Don't work overtime, the taxes cost more than you make."

Unless your marginal tax rate for your overtime is > 100%, that's simply false. Given that all marginal income tax rates in the US are < 100% (that I know of).

Well, a quick search turned up this: Vacuum Arc

However, like the above comment, it seems to refer to freeing electrons from the conducts, so, IMHO, you no longer have a vacuum.

If you could somehow maintain a perfect vacuum; I wonder how this concept Virtual particle would come into play (or if it would at all).

With sufficient voltage, everything is a conductor.

With insufficient voltage, everything is an insulator.

Neither may be conducive to those roles, but everything has some conductivity and some resistance (super conductors being a possible exception).

Our utilities are paid for by sales tax.

And since sovcits don't pay taxes, utilities are just completely free. /s
