Practical economics - part 4

Despite a few minor hiccups on Easter day, I am delighted to report that my tariff based economic strategy continues to be an unqualified success and anyone who claims otherwise is a shameless liar 😡

So first of all the Easter bunny did not turn up 🐰 After weeks of careful negotiation and a tariff of 85% on eggs, this commie freeloader stopped returning my calls. That is just as well as I do not want the children in my family to be exposed to woke, anti-patriotic propaganda. It is true that the girls were less excited about hunting brussels sprouts in the garden, but we all have to endure some pain before things start getting better 😔

Then my brother-in-law flippantly suggested making the fridge a "free zone" 🙄 For that unhelpful suggestion he was placed on outdoor BBQ duties for the rest of the day 🥶

My proposal to reduce the legal age of child labour to 7 did not meet with universal approval from my sisters. That is no matter as I do not anticipate any shortage of interest to work my new marshmallow factory - 12 hour shifts, minimum wage.

As we afficionados of the "Roman salute" are fond of saying, "Rome was not built in a day" ⛪
