Drunken realization
Why do I get only $6 of $20
discount?
Why did I get nothing of the $20 discount ?
They “zero in” on the anti-hero( a scape goat can always be found )
The rich guy got 50% more than
what I got !And I got
nothing out of the $20 !
Our two friends go to the bar(the businessman not joining them henceforth)

If you ignore this “drunkenomics” and
attack them for being wealthy,
they might start drinking
overseas where the atmosphere is friendlierV
