Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality. Martin Luther King, Jr.

That extra spending increases demand and ensures that we all carry on with work to do, without us having to slash our prices or our wrists. Evan Davis
