@bruces I was thinking about that story the other day. Probably due for a reread.

Beggars in Spain struck me as a more nuanced look at a very-few-jobs situation.

@StefanEJones @bruces I read 'Riders' in my teens and thought 'What kind of asylum is this?' despite liking the style.
I read 'Beggars' somewhat later and thought 'Seriously?' despite, again, liking the style.
Which, effectively, sums up my approach to the world I'm currently living in, despite NOT liking the style, or anything about it!
Or is this the 'Great P party'?
