Rajiv, this kind of poverty is pervasive now. That’s why I wrote the song The Quarter Man”. It happened at our local grocery store. The man offered to take your cart back to the rack for the quarter that was in it. There has to be a better way. https://youtu.be/HSRyKjkjMHU

I remember that song! I like it a lot
Thank you…
In fact… I think I bought that song on ITunes
that’s great, thank you very much….
Are you in Chicago? … this is a great post! So true…
Ha Ha.. no..
I am sweating in India!

True… and it sucks
Absolutely.
