The problem with the world
Person A is good at making bread essentially worth $2. Person B is good at making cheese, worth $2. Working together, they can make pizza, worth a whopping $10. Unfortunately, pizza is never made. Person A thinks bread is the more essential part of a pizza and wants a bigger share of the $10 than person B.
Our solution? Person C comes in, pays both of them $2.01 each to make bread and cheese, sells the pizza and pockets the profit. All in the name of leadership!
(P.S. Not the best analogy but just an avenue for a short tirade against the world's "leaders" for our dire economic situation worldwide. Business and banking as the backbone of our economies just ain't cutting it when it is actual goods and services that are the things that can be regarded as intrinsically good. We need a fundamental change of opinion on worth and remuneration of certain activities but can the common man see all this injustice that's masked as "how things work"? )
