#4  Arithmetic wins in the end. You cannot stop it. Like the Moving Finger or the honey badger, Arithmetic just don't care about your feelings and good intentions.

Arithmetic is one of the differences between the People of Things and the People of Words. People of Things believe in Arithmetic.

"Jobs. We're gonna need a Community Outreach Department, a Food Desert Commission, some kind of Homeless grift, plus others we'll think of on the way.
