Back in the day, Adam and Eve used to just pluck delicious fruit from the trees. Then, came government, disguised as a serpent. It offered an alternative of gentrification through crony capitalism, urban renewal to uproot and dispossess communities without political connection, enticements to breed children like crazy out of wedlock so mom would have to choose between breadwinning while they ran feral or nurturing them on the government dole, commercials to seduce choice-moochers into relying on it for food and sustenance, regulations out the yin-yang to trap people in its treacherous web of red tape . . .
. . . Fast-forward to today, where poor people can’t get fruit and vegetables because the community is too new. Thass wo it say.
