[17:48] <Sol> im a well paid yuppy
[17:48] <Sol> i think we went over this for a moment before Cho
[17:48] <Sol> daddy owns a major corporation
[17:48] <MUTANTbob> I'm on de welfare
[17:48] <Sol> the workers get slave wages
[17:49] <Sol> inheritance within decades
[17:49] <Cho> Sol? I don't recall that. All I know that "voluntary simplicity" was a viable option, once upon a time.
[17:49] <Sol> ascension to sales/management in years
[17:49] <Cho> Geez, the kidz that were on the bus with me ... my cohort ... they're all wealthy. And tight-assed.
[17:49] <MUTANTbob> work hard my pretties so that I may become fat upon the oils of your toils
[17:50] <Sol> i am now
[17:50] <Cho> Nuthin' bad about hard work ... but getting suckered is something else.
[17:50] <Sol> but i am poor in comparison with my family
[17:50] <Sol> thus i wait to have enough to give and still stay afloat
[17:50] <Cho> *sigh* It's a matter of consciousness ... comes from experience ...
[17:50] <Sol> or waiting till i 'own' a house and some land before i give away all that i am building.
[17:51] <Cho> There's a tilt-point ... when I broke both my feet everything just slid away from me ... didn't have a substantial reserrve ... had always been collaborative / communal.
[17:51] <Cho> Narcissistic people huh huh are not reliable.

[17:56] <MUTANTbob> little house on the island
[17:56] <banshee> oh
[17:56] * Cho wonders "The size of /what/?" Why are folk so cryptic?
[17:56] <Sol> lost your legs eh
[17:57] * Cho is down at the heel huh huh
[17:57] <Sol> the size of the home..................................................you put all your money into in the 70s
