(My piece for today is an aphorism, instead of a haiku.)

If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. If you learn to swim, you can scare away the fish and tell him you can’t help him anymore.

Build a factory along the shore that pollutes the waters, and you can make him work for you to earn his good on your wages

Blast from the Past:

When someone’s freedom
Can be turned into profit,
Then the end is nigh.
