But the Once-lers who are weak or old, they need to stay home, they do. They've made their money (most), and and its time to give the kids their due. So the strong and young can go out, and go out they should and they must. For unless they do so and soon, the entire village goes bust!
For a brief trip away sits the Grinch, atop a mountain of money, not a pinch. And he roots for fear in the village, which allows him to eventually pillage. And while the scared and frozen bleat, he shall buy up every home and every street.

I’d be more receptive to this Seussian parable if it were not coming from the guy who confidently predicted a maximum death toll of a couple thousand, that the severity would at worst be like a mild flu for all but those most vulnerable, and that we can probably cure it by injecting household disinfectants. Wait, was that last one you or the other guy who is 100% wrong about everything all of the time? Whatevs, I think you’re picking up what I’m laying down here.
