Quit
“I quit!”, said I.
“Oh cool! Here’s your relieving letter.”, they said.
“But…but…you can’t do this to me! I worked one whole year for you! Where’s my farewell?”, I asked.
“Fare thee well, my man”, said he. And that, was that.
Here’s an idea: Privatise the other half
Fortunately, civilized humanity is solving the problem of long-run prudence by using culture. As our civilization develops, we are becoming better at foreseeing the consequences of our actions, and have built institutions that encourage long-range thinking. Private property is one such vital institution, because it forces people who reap the benefits to bear the costs of using a resource.

Commenting on this post, Ram says:
hey why tamils are so fanatic.u tamils dont even desire chennai city.historically chennai belongs to telugu people.but tamils rudely bagged chennai during jawarlal nehru period.
districts of krishnagiri,dharmapuri consttsute 60 % of telugus.
wwhere ever u tamils go do not co exist.in bangalore u are hated.in mumbai tamils were kicked by shiv sena.
in sri lanka you are targeted.
in future even in hyderabad city ,we dont know what problems you are going to face.
be care ful tamils the telugu desam party and telangana rastra samiti will kick u with their left legs.
tamils are stupids in the whole world.kannadigas,malayalis and telugus should join hands and kick tamils ,kill tamils, throw them out of their states.
shiv sena kiss all tamils in mumbai.
tamilinas are bloody fuckers.
they surely create problem to othere languages and cultures.
when ever any one meets tamil ,just ignore dont respect them.
kannadigas just spit ur saliva on tamilians face.mallus now its ur culture under threat,tamils are spoiling ur culture and ur mollywod is been targeted by tamils.
kick tamils in kerala.
I bow to thee, oh great Ram. Today, you’ve taught me a great lesson. I shall forever be grateful.
