It’s Pretty Dang Cool

That feeling of getting the first PO…
Meantime, I’m either aiding and abetting, or utterly destroying, the career of a budding young bidnessman — I hired a neighborhood kid to mow the lawn. He’s working awfully damn hard…I think this might be his first one — his mama’s been by twice to check on him. I’m going to tip him good, try to encourage him to follow the path of evil Capitalism.
I might have me a couple of pops tonight. I might have had a couple already.

I do love it so.

That’s Patton I was channeling, so it should say, “God help me, I do love it so.”

how does hard work equate with evil capitalism? Or am I just missing something?

Mostly getting paid an honest wage by the man who values your work. Having mowed some big badass lawns for peanuts, I can sympathize with him. Plus, I do value having a mowed lawn. Outside of that, nothing.

Walking to an outdoor concert a few years ago I passed a couple of young entrepreneurs who had set up a candy bar and water stand. I paid heavily for that candy bar and bottle of water, and several of my friends looked at me as if I had gone mad, but I felt it was my duty to encourage their budding capitalism.
