Worker class is the true unifier. You can be lower, mid, and upper worker class.

If you have to work to live, you're working class. If your employer controls a significant portion of your life and time, you're working class.

So what you're saying is if the collective can set Luigi free then you might be okay with the deal?

Jesus was always saying punchy one liners. He'd be a brilliant satirist.

Yes

The solution came with some out-of-the-DOT-box thinking: They shifted the spot by a hundredth of a mile, and turned Mile 420 into Mile 419.99.

They appear to be clueless, so those with a clue may out themselves.

Guess what day it is today

The whip is only present in the John account, I think. The Wiki page is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple

Can you point to a reference? I don't think you are recalling the story correctly.

They were money changers (currency exchange) and merchants, not a single tax collector.

Jesus cleansed the temple twice, it wasn't a single event.

Matthew was a tax collector, one of his key disciples. Jesus was also compassionate towards Zaccheus, who was a wealthy tax collector. Zaccheus was wise enough to repent from his over-taxing of citizens, however.

Shhhh, let the EEEs pretend, they have it rough as it is.

I think it takes at least two reads. It was difficult the first time trying to keep track of everything in my head. I reckon its not worth feeling inferior about it and just give it a go. I recommend treating it like episodes.

Children of Hurin (the standalone book) is definitely worth a read once you have the context. The audiobook with Christopher Lee's narration is an excellent choice.

and the rest of us?

Either make the waves, ride the waves, be part of the wave, or try to walk against the wave.

We all want to be the makers but the majority of us won't be. Try to ride the waves.
