Well, you know the saying. Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you've just lost a perfectly good customer.

The "Work or Starve" plan, on the other hand, has a singular element of elegance to it. One way or another, the problem takes care of itself. Nature loves self-correcting systems, and so do I.
