Hard Problem of Money

The problem of its intrinsic valuelessness. Money is a collective hallucination with no inherent worth (a paper dollar, a digital bit). Its value derives solely from the shared belief that others will accept it for goods and services. The hard problem is maintaining this fragile consensus, especially as money becomes increasingly abstracted (from gold to paper to digits to cryptocurrencies). The entire global economy rests on a confidence game. If that faith evaporates, the "value" vanishes instantly, revealing money as a pure social construct of trust—the most powerful and volatile fiction ever created.
Example: A central bank performs "quantitative easing"—it creates billions of dollars by electronically altering numbers in bank accounts. No new goods or services exist, but the money supply grows. If people believe this new money is "real," inflation may be controlled. If they lose faith, hyperinflation ensues. The hard problem: Money's value isn't in the paper or the number; it's in the shared psychology of a population. It's a story we all tell each other, and the economy is the act of everyone continuing to believe the plot. It works until, suddenly, it doesn't. Hard Problem of Money.

She Works Hard for the Money 

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Already knows
She's seen her bad times
Already knows
These are the good times
Never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right, alright

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
