An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you want to beat capitalists you must give away all your extra resources to get other people out of this cycle, and let others do the same with you.

1. A tweet with an image of a book. The tweet is by rohan talbot (@rohanTalbot). The tweet says "No economist will ever come up with a better explanation of why being poor is so expensive than Terry Pratchett. Such a great quote" The attached image is of a book and says "Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was captain samuel vines 'boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness"
