Run, rabbit run.Dig that hole, forget the sun,And when at last the work is done--Don't sit down. It's time to dig another one.I've done regular work. I've had a six figure salary. I've done cool things with official sanction. I've been the rabbit.Today is another day, and I work another way, making more money without anyone to tell me what time to ...

In simple terms (a metaphor, sure, but not far from the point):Alice is the proprietor of a bar in New York City. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers, most of whom are unemployed alcoholics, to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger, thereby granting the customers loans.Word gets...
