“And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.’” But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’" Luke 12:19-20
Wrong priority, Rat. If you HAVE wealth, you can BUY health—safe surroundings, good healthcare, delivery services, protective gear. Poor people don’t have that luxury.
1966 Paul Simon deep cut: “And of all my wealth won’t buy me health, So I smoke a pint of tea a day” from the aptly titled “A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara’d Into Submission)”.

He’s making reasonable sense.

Is it really about health, or just “Don’t catch the ’rona!”?? If you put on 10 pounds during this, we’ll know which.

Since Pastis is pretty much these characters God, I’m wondering why he’s allowing this one to go so out of character.

In our country, one must have wealth in order to maintain health.

If Rat understands, why can’t certain people in the U.S. as well?
