Who’s on Top?

I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention

Jimi Hendrix, “Taking Care of No Business”

I don’t know whether I like this quote more because it’s funny, or maybe I love it so much because I believe it’s so profound.

Everyone can decide for themselves what they choose to pay attention to.

Generally speaking, you get what you pay for — and only a sucker would fall for a “free lunch” scam.

The really funny hard truth is not that “if you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product”, it’s that there are so many suckers out there who are willing to pay money to reach other suckers. Apparently, almost every member of the sucker community truly believes that another sucker will be willing & able to pay.

The poorest sucker is probably the one who is ready to actually trust an IOU signed by another sucker.
