General Discussion

I am sitting here at the local watering hole having a couple. When I leave I will tip this lovely young lady $20.

Do I make more than the owner of the watering hole … maybe. I damn sure make more than the hostess.

In the morning I will stop and get a cup of coffee from a mom and pop shop for $5. Do I make more than the owner, most likely.

At the end of the pay period my employer will pay me. They certainly have more money than .

Money moves and it moves in all directions, always has and always will.

The strange part of this interaction is the guy sitting next to me just bought me a shot, because it is Tuesday and his pocket is full. By the end of the week he will ask me to spot him $50, and I will.

The decisions he makes determines his lifestyle and although he walked across the street to get here past my new car he sits here and spends his check on buying drinks for others.

Great guy, will always be broke.

And although his politics are whack, he is very typical of those who cry about “others” taking what is “his”.

Just as those who think the “corporations” are stealing and hoarding.

XOM has never bought me a beer and asked for money to loan 3 days later. They have bought me a drink at the expo downtown.

Different strokes.
