Maintaining their financial well-being by cutting jobs smacks of greed. I read a nice little series of books by Alexander McCall-Smith, The Number One Ladies Detective Agency. In telling the story of a Botswanan female detective,Mma Ramatswe, McCall-Smith also paints a loving picture of Botswana. Mma Ramatswe explains that in Botswana it is a person's community responsibility of those who have money to hire work done (housekeeping, yards, whatever)to do so. It is how you give dignity to people. It's not about keeping all your money for yourself, but finding ways to share our wealth with others in a way that brings dignity to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
