Are you sure he wasn't a economist?


I'm sure of that.

I'm not sure he's a high school teacher, although I have no reason to doubt what he told me. If you drink in a taproom in Portland, you will run into some characters. It was an interesting 30 minute conversation. I didn't disagree with him on anything, I just tried to draw him out.

I think he's a hippie Portlander who is justifying his envy by embracing communism and convincing himself that it is necessary in order save the planet.

He would not enjoy the world he's proposing.

What is this "disposable income" he speaks of? I've heard of it, but rarely have it. I foolishly squander my money on things like food and electricity.


Disposable income is what your wife purchases. It's mostly clothes, shoes, cosmetics, fashion magazines that take 1 minute to read, OTC pills that guarantee health and beauty, hair products that contain 'tea lauryl sulfate, water, artificial color and fragrance' and cost 20 times more than your shampoo.
