19. I'll see your useless eater and raise you

by one capitalist parasite. My dad surprised me with enough to live on when he died.

However, you should feel about being a useless eater. Every bit of useless eating we do employs farmers, processors, truck drivers, warehouse people, office staff for all of this and grocery workers at the end. So have another helping and bottoms up. You're still contributing.
