An economist and a billionaire were watching children playing ice cream stand. Trowels of dirt in Dixie cups made chocolate ice cream, gardening lime made vanilla. "These are sprinkles," one kid said, tearing up flower petals and scattering them over the cups.

"Those kids are under #capitalized," remarked the economist. "With a little investment they could have actual ice cream to sell."

"Nah, they're perfect," said the billionaire. "Feed the public dirt and lime."
