  • “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different. ”

    - F. Scott Fitzgerald















  • Wish 1: Money. Granted, at the expense of their son being killed for the insurance money.

    Wish 2: Son comes back from the dead. Granted, and he’s a zombie.

    Wish 3: For their son to go away. Granted, and I guess the paw had mercy and didn’t do anything ironic.

    My wish(es): For the oligarchs to be arrested. Random people being arrested doesn’t even come close to granting this wish. For a new democratic government to be installed. If a new government was installed that was democratic in name only, it would not fulfill the wording of the wish. There are other monkey’s paw ways of making a new democratic government suck, though. Undergo a process of cultural change like denazification. This one I’ll grant you, the “like” opens up a ton of possibilities for a money’s paw to abuse.
