4. Currency slaves--a personal epiphany

I was very young. I had recently gotten a high-powered, great-paying (it seemed) job. We took a vacation to a beach area that was basically for tourists and only tourists. On a rainy day, I tried to shop, but the shops closed for a few hours during midday. I thought, "Don't they get how much money they could make if they were open all day on a day like this? In the very next second, I realized, "Of course they get it. They just have different priorities than most USians." They were right. I was wrong.
