The Water Cycle Meets The Generational Wealth Cycle

A bunch of teenagers are on a school trip to the ski resort (it’s an expensive school). I’ve gone over the basics of the lesson and then ask:

Me: “Any questions before we start?”

Teen #1: “Yeah, where does all the snow come from?”

Me: “…ha ha, very funny.”

Teen #1: “Seriously, where does it all come from?”

Me: “The… uh, the sky?”

Teen #1: “Oh. So then, how do you give it all back in the summer?”

Teen #2: “Woooow. Our parents pay $60,000 a year for our school, and you know less than an episode of The Magic Schoolbus.”
