Two economists are walking in the park. The first economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the other, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50. Later on, the second economist sees a pile of dog shit and says to the first, "I'll pay you $50 to eat that pile of dog shit." So he does and gets paid $50.
The first economist says, "I can't help but feel we just ate dog shit for nothing." "Nonsense," says the second economist, "We just contributed $100 to the economy."

Happy Birthday, Thomas Sankara
in the words of @DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net:
A kind man, one who made his country food self-suficent, vaccinated all children against polio and mengitis, planted 10 million trees, started a giant literacy campaign and did amazing work for womens rights. As a reward he got killed by the french and the US.
An amazing man, one in a long line of amazing persons killed for daring to work towards a better future for everyone.
Never forget the sacrifices of our past comrades.

Here's some reading by him:
Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983–87
Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle
And this one is about him:
A Certain Amount of Madness: The Life, Politics and Legacies of Thomas Sankara
I maintain that he was too pure for this hellworld and his only mistake was not doing political purges. :sankara-salute:
