When I observe how these people talk, hug and smile.

And observe how you can be stabbed for trying to elevate a brother next door.

I keep very quiet.
There is a certain insidious crab mentality amongst the poor.

It was as if the loaf of life has so few slices, and you should starve that they may eat.

Yet, at the top, they talk bakeries.
When you have two Lazaruses, they would still rather fight for bread crumbs than seek to sit at the table.

The distance between the floor and the seat is not 900mm. It could be Generational Years. A whole Mindset. Hard to explain!

Anyway,

Poverty distorts society from both ends.

At the bottom, the poor can't help each other.

At the top, they have their gods.

The chief aim of the frustrated is to belong in a camp of their oppressors. //

This makes me very quiet.

Q. If you started a wheelbarrow making factory your village, how many obstacles will stop you?

That is the Conversation.

Ease of Doing Business.

Not ease of Picking and Pushing Wheelbarrows.
Every small business owner knows how hard it is to breathe in this economy.

Remove the bottlenecks.
I doubt you will weld one Wheelbarrow to completion without Kenya Power switching power off

And when you lift your head, a County Official will be at your door step$

And can you afford to transport the steel to Location?

Will you afford to pay the wages?

Will the banks fund?
