This is really how stupid . . .

The useful part

Let me translate the sludge flowing through his deteriorating brain into household level terms. You give all that money to the supermarket but they have never given you one penny! It means now you'll have an incentive to grow your own food, and you'll really be better off.

How it works

• Then you'll need farm equipment, you'll have to learn how to farm, you'll need to buy fertilizer and seed.
• You're also going to need to figure out how to make soap, toilet paper, and of course your farm will need to grow produce, grain, animal feed.
• You need to figure out how to make cheese, butter, vegetable oil, thresh and mill your grain.
• If he were smart, he'd pay a tax of 50% on your salary and then he'd figure out how to get your work done without you.
• Depending on how big your family is, you might spend $150 or more.

What to take from it

Of course, that will be hard to do if you don't already have forty acres and a mule, so you might have to invest some money to buy a farm. In the meantime, you'll still have to keep buying groceries and paying the tax. From your employer, who gives you money every two weeks even though you've never given him one penny!

Details worth keeping

This is literally, in fact, really truly what he thinks. You go to the supermarket once or twice a week. It will be at least a year or two before you actually harvest anything.
