Please do not ask the impertinent question _ _ what is Big Boss’es SHHARE ?
Dear AUTO,
That question was a bit rude.
When I wake up at 3AM in the morning, Mon – Sat, to go to work and earn that pittance to keep home fires burning and pay taxes to the State, I recite a silent word of prayer for the welfare of the former and current kings of our land, including the immediate former King whom, we as taxpayers, have given a palatial ex-President’s residence in Paget Road for the enjoyment of his lovely family consisting Jayanthi, his daughter and the son and DIL (enjoying marital bliss) including the Bola Mesa he has installed in the conference room on 17 Nov 2019.
They are fortunate people, AUTO, the blessed of the land and we, the plebs are destined to toil and pay taxes to keep the wise and noble men and women in politics, alive and well, living in luxury, in palatial residences, flying business class to exotic destinations, and total security (armed soldiers in Security vehicles, front and back) to enable them to vomit their STUPIDITY regularly and consistently in public and continue to ruin our innocent lives forever and forever.
We are plebs, my dear AUTO, accept reality and toil with passion for our wonderful nation.
