teaching a man to fish

if you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. if you teach a man to teach other men to fish, then pay them insulting amounts of compensatory goods or moneys, then sell the fish the former man didn't catch to another man who did the same thing in a separate industry, who then sells it back to the other men who the former man taught to fish at three times the original wages paid, leaving the man who's really responsible for the success of the other two men to rot in mental, physical and financial shambles, you have an economy. and everyone loses except the man who first learned how to fish.

moral of the story: you better hurry up and figure out something incredible or have fun with the vultures.
