Avarice is always poor

After a few trips into town it has been made very clear that you either have money, or you don't.
Most don't.




70% of the people here live on less than $2 per day, and others in power live like this recent National Post article --> "Dictator's son blows $100M on lavish living"

"According to court documents, Mr. Obiang's cars included a US$2-million Maserati, and two Bugatti Veyrons worth US$2-million and US$1.3-million. He also owned eight Ferraris, seven Rolls Royces, five Bentleys, four Mercedes, two Lamborghinis and an Aston Martin.
In June, 2005, he bought two high-performance 15.2-metre speedboats worth US$2-million and had one shipped to Hawaii so he could use it on a visit there. It capsized and had to be salvaged at a cost of US$400,000.
In what would have been his most lavish expense, he commissioned a German company in 2008 to design a "mega yacht" worth US$380-million, nearly three times what Equatorial Guinea spends on
health and education in a year."


It's a bit frustrating that this goes on while little Aboobua down at the market has to suck on a chicken bone for one of his only meals of the day, but hey, I guess the way things happen in some countries.

"If youre not greedy you will go far, you will live in happiness too... like the oompa.... loompa.... doompity do."
