“
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

This is one of the best breakdowns I’ve ever seen of how expensive it is to be poor.

This is why I love Terry Pratchett.

at LAST I’ve settled on a design for my Nairie with help from Quetz. And it is nice to have a color ref of one of my characters for oncE LOL???!?!?
Aaaahh is this Nairie? :3
Y…YES! Ah~! 8’D In all her feathery glory. Dressed to impress as opposed to the itchy farm-wife’s disguise.
She would insist that you touch her feathery cloak, but you must avoid the feathers on her head C:
It’s so cool to see her! I mean, I had this picture in my head, but a drawing from her creator (you) is something way different! I should get a grip and finally draw a proper portrait of Niccolo… And answer your reply once I get home.
