Maybe I should refrain from saying this, maybe not. Anyway, even if the comic is a true depiction of the society today, one fact -- an obvious one -- is that just about everyone, but except the bum, over his/her life has, on average, a positive net worth. No? Yes? A bum, by its nature, is the least likely to be economically productive compared to the rest in the comic. So, the moral of the story is never be a bum! And if you are one, leave the rest of us alone!
