It's good that we can actually be concerned for Shep, even though in my case I don't know him and there is next to no chance we'll ever meet.
Bleak as Theo's assessment is, I can't argue with it.
It is a system to which we tacitly agree every day of our lives and which we help to perpetuate.
I'm 73 and a natural loafer, but if there were barricades to man I'd be there tomorrow. "From each according to his ability to each according to his need". That's me.
If Shep is working so selflessly hard to fulfil a genuine need, that's wonderful. If the result of his labours is filling fat shareholder pockets that is a differnet matter. Look after yourself too Shep.
