“Nicaragua is a World Bank and International Monetary Fund designated "heavily indebted poor country," with little legal ability to control its economic future: Everything is for sale.

“When I would sell encyclopedias, I would drive down the road looking for a house with a swing set in the back, and I'd say, "Oh, those folks got kids. They need some books." I'd knock on their door and sell them a set of encyclopedias, and those books were from $300 to $600. I'd look around the house, and if there wasn't that much furniture in the house, I felt a little bad about selling a $600 set of books to people who couldn't afford a couch. So I didn't last at that job very long.” PeopleIfsNeedsLooksLittlesLongBookKidsJobsLastsHouseFeltDoorsSellsFolksSellingSwingsFurnitureCouchesDown The RoadEncyclopediaSwing Sets Author:Willie Nelson

“Look, I am a Palestinian elected representative from Jericho. If a Palestinian wants to sell his fruit anywhere in the West Bank, he goes to the Israeli civil administration.

Israel is, in effect, resuming the occupation.” IfsWantLooksPersonsEffectsCivilizationSickSellsWestFruitIsraelAdministrationHospitalsOccupationRepresentativesPalestinianPermissionIsraeliJerichoSick Person Author:Saeb Erekat
“I am a famous artist. I make millions. But I frequently see debut shows of unknown artists with prices that are double of mine... what they're really doing is barely getting by and helping me sell 1,000 paintings a year effortlessly, because they make my paintings look like such a bargain. Thank you to all the egotistical art students!” YearsLooksArtHelpingShowsArtistMillionsStudentsMinesPaintingSellsBargainsEgotisticalDebutFamous ArtistArt StudentsBarely Getting By Author:Mark Kostabi
