After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week."

The florist was pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a Thank You card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill , the barber again replies, "I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week."

The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a Thank You card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Tech Billionaire came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber once again replied, "I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week."

The Tech Billionaire was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Tech Billionaires lined up waiting for free haircuts.

The moral here is that even cops are better than billionaires.

i like the joke but don't agree with that. they're equally bad imo. billionaires wouldn't exist without cops protecting them from the rest of us

I didn't say I agree with the the moral of the story either, I'm just breaking it down.

The workers give the product of their own labor, the cops give products of someone else's labor, the executives expect to be given to.
