Ja, this I do not buy however, for if a poor young person is using the
really high-end stuff like cocaine, she must be either stealing or dealing.
No one will slave at a minimum wage job all week and then snort the whole
paycheck up the nose on payday.  They will buy cheaper drugs and get stoned
every night, and still have money for actual food.  I have no problem with
recreational drug use. But high schoolers using cocaine is a sure indicator
of foul play.  I would not hire that high schooler, for her sense of the
worth of money would be necessarily all messed up.

Sure but I would be forever suspicious of how they came into possession of
that money.

Actually he never claimed to have worked for it at all.  I may have missed
it for I didn't read the whole book, but he didn't actually claim to have
had a job.  The money for that cocaine cries out for an explanation.

I wouldn't, had he some legal capitalist scheme that worked so well he had
piles of money lying around.  He doesn't tell us anything about that legal
capitalist scheme.  Why?

I am with you there.  Stathis, how do you theorize the current reader of the
free world came into possession of that cash, doing evidently NO work?
Honestly Stathis, the man has some 'splainin to do, and the popular press is
showing a deplorable lack of curiosity.
