  1. Every so often, reading about (some) politicians (and others) reminds me of Chaucer's
    “but only with the rich and victual-sellers”.

    Mutatis mutandis for today: replace “victual”, insert more occupations before “friar”, keep “rich” and “profit".

    Nothing new under the Sun, but We the People must not shrug this off.
    Of course.
