Plumbers are more or less skilled labor. I picture Jeff Grippe as being
unskilled labor since he is too stupid to figure out how to post correctly.
Surely he is the man with the hoe or the pitchfork.

The way plumbers, electricians and other service people charge, I wish I had
gone into the lowly trades myself instead of wasting my life pursuing the
arts and sciences and becoming a Great Saint. Some of these damn kids who
mow lawns earn more than I ever did.

Now that you mention it, I don't seem to recall ever seeing a loan shark in
a business suit.

No, I will stick to making fun of your belief that dead people need
money.

Are you advocating a poll tax?

I would do much less damage to the "commons" if it were reasonable and
practical to ride a recumbent bicycle or trike to work. If the
government subsidizes motorized transport, why shouldn't do the same
for human powered transport?
