No profit margins or shareholders at all of course...

Well, it's just a slice of the picture. It's just the one nobody likes to talk about.

A different slice: went to the supermarket the other day, late on a Sunday. There were two workers in the whole supermarket, both elderly women in their 70s.

Economy sucks here so pensions are bad, they chose to keep working.

But obviously they didn't chose to work on Sunday night. They didn't have a choice there.

If they owned the place, they would have closed at a normal hour.

One of them let out an exasperated sigh when I walked in. More work for her, but not more profit.

I overheard one say to the other, "and then at the end of the month you go to the bank and collect 800 Euros."
