Reply #55: You really think the analogy of a lunch

[Tactical Progressive]

equates to a lifetime change in economic position for you and your entire family? I can see why metaphors to defend this are so absurd; how could they be anything but?

To that point, not that it deserves much of a rejoinder, if your boss was nice he would give you a lunch coupon for when you get the chance to use it, especially if you were off doing company business, but even if you weren't because the lunch wasn't for your work on that particular day.

And what if, using an outlandish metaphor like you seem to prefer, your boss gave everyone a three-million dollar bonus at that lunch? You'd be OK for not getting one because you were out that day? Sure your would. Little bit of a difference there, huh?
