I read this thread and i'm somehow reminded of an old joke about a guy on a job interview.
They tell him: "We can't pay you a lot at first, but you get more later"
And he answers: "Ok, i come back later"
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
