Value

Today:

- The mechanic is a "loser". He uses his hands to repair automobiles, keep machinery running, and does manual labor. What a piece of shit person! Lives in a hovel, makes barely enough to get by.

- The asshole who does marketing is a "winner". Forget God, THIS motherfucker is the big cheese! His hair is frosted, the suit and tie are immaculate, his BMW is the baddest machine in town. Barely a day goes by without him getting his cock slicked by another smoking hot woman, he makes $80-150k a year to sit around and act arrogant. Fuck you if you aren't this guy.

- That homeless guy there? Nasty! What a fucking turd of a "human"! He lives on the streets and smells like shit. Nobody knows who the fuck he is, and they don't care.

Tomorrow:

- The mechanic is a "winner". This son of a bitch can actually get vehicles to RUN by swapping parts and wiring around the EMP-damaged stuff in the car! Holy shit, hot women want to pleasure him because he got an '87 Dodge Ram truck to run and they have a chance of surviving over the winter... You want food? You want to get something repaired so you don't suffer? This is the guy to talk to... Don't fuck with him though, he's bartered and traded out his skill for some heavy-duty shit [GUNS and AMMO, you know] and he knows his way around an M-4... Dude's a master with tools.

- The marketer? He's sitting in a FEMA encampment, nursing another black eye that he "earned" by opening his big, arrogant mouth to someone. His BMW sits flattened and burned out beneath the rubble of his luxury home, the women in the camp are giving it up to the guards for "favors" such as a half-can of baked beans, and he is worth zero dollars. His "mad skills" with marketing and related bullshit equal zero in the camp. Fuck this guy.

- The homeless guy? He's still doing fine, though he's had to resort to some drastic stuff to make it a couple times... No matter, what does it matter if he offs a collaborator here and there anyways? Fuck 'em. He is invisible, he's alive, he is living in a foreclosed home that he broke into, and even though he has no heat or electricity he's pleased as punch to be there... Nobody knows where the fuck he is, and they're too busy fighting, hustling, or dying to care.

Value is all in the perspective, and that is subject to change.
