      Always irked me, the term “trickle down”. It implies the masses are only deserving of whatever slips through from the ceiling above…

      “Look, kids! This slow drip from the ceiling under this lake has created a small puddle. In thousands of years from now, this puddle will be much larger. Possibly a pond! Imagine that, a pond!”

      “But you said there’s a lake above us?”

      “That’s a private lake. Trespassers will be shot.”
