Narrative Interlude

When last we saw Bottle, he was showing us how his investor made $50, but he made 12 cents. He then walked away, because shoveling chicken shit was a more productive use of his time and energy than being a businesspeople. 

We know that Bottle and Paul and all the rest are the same person, we know that this is a structural sandbox, but Bottle is a decently smart chap. He's showing us the underlying structure of American business, and how the rich get richer/poor struggle to break even without anyone taking any advantage of anyone else. The structure itself causes this problem, even when the people involved are the nicest, sweetest, good intentioned people imaginable. 

He'll come back tomorrow with more records, but even a well functioning narrator such as myself can't possibly know what words will come out of his mouth, or what record will be playing while he says them. It is an adventure, after all. So as Bottle might say, catch you on the flip side, and cheers.
