This would explain the layout of the office where I brought in a laptop for servicing. Mind you, this was one of the early models when they would be not-so-slim and not-quite-lightweight.

To give you an idea how long ago this was, that laptop had a monochrome dark grey-on-gray screen (and it was less than an inch thick)!

If the campaign mentioned 100 new jobs opened, does it matter where or who provided the opportunities for a better life?
These wage workers did the math. Food for me? Check. Phone? Check What to wear? Already got those; check. Shelter? Pfffft. er, I mean, Thanks, Dad! Hey, I am not "feeding a family of four" ---- don't be silly, Silly
