Actually, obligatory:
Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.”
The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit.
The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.”
The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing."
"That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"
"She is dead....(laughed)...just write a cheque $11,000...She was 26 anyway...She had limited value" ~ Daniel Auderer, Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild on the death of Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula.
Jaahnavi was raised by a single mother in Andhra Pradesh. She was set to graduate this December in the USA. She was killed in a road accident by a Police car.
Before giving lectures about Human Rights to others, the USA govt should look within.
Strict action should be taken against Daniel Auderer. We want Justice for Jaahnavi Kandula.
