Gracing Work
With All Due Speed
Many prevailed on Senator Harley Eps
to introduce the bill asking, as a Social
Good, for the Non-Working Class to
work an hour a week. It passed.
The particular task ordained was to
schedule the off-time of the Working
Class. Thus making such leisure richer
and more fulfilling.
Not arduous, since computer programs
existed to do just that.
So the new job consisted in pressing a
button or so.
But, some of the NWs came in contact with
workers, and requested a sort of hazard pay.
The flat fee for NWs was 500 an hour.
Virulently anti-union, of course, they formed
one, and their contract was to be larded
with clauses begatting clauses as to family
leave, holidays, sick time etc.
Their first demand was a doubling of the
flat fee. So, 1000 to work an hour a week.
Eps and colleagues had enough at that point,
and legislation cancelling the law sailed through.
And, farsighted on this rare occasion, putting
aside up to two hundred million for the expected
lawsuits.

The Justice Tree
The Goldmine
Laurene wanted to renegotiate the Pre-Nup during the
Pre-Split, but finally agreed to enough to buy a third of a losing
spread off the grid in North Dakota. Her ancient parents supplying
the rest.
“Sorry to miss the goldmine of your fabulous lawsuit settlement
when it finally finally comes!” she laughed at Mox.
It did, and the financial press, called it huge. Proverb, his accountant, spat however: “Justice delayed is Justice denied.”
“Uh huh?” Mox was ecstatic: “But Justice! At long last!”
His feelings couldn't be dampened by Proverb's claim that
"These new fees from The El Cheato Law Firm, might just push
the whole business into the debit column.”
The actual firm of Mangrove, Headings, Dorst, Onofrio and
Rasmussin held a party. They emailed Mox a picture of the cake,
he being in hospital overnight due to a prescription painkiller
mixup.
Another of Proverb's sayings had gotten to Rasmussin
so many years ago: “A lawsuit is a tree that grows in
a lawyer's garden.”
So he had his gardener plant a sycamore, which initially flourished.
Mox erased his link to the webcam recently, since it had gotten
very mottled, droopy, its leaves grayish, and looked ready to die.
In his mind, however, staying forever green! The Justice Tree!
