“The Free-Ride Ode”


Eating rice, 3 yuan per jin, freeloading off farmers
Eating pork, raising pigs at a loss, freeloading off pig farms
Renting a place to live, rent < mortgage, freeloading off landlords
Taking public transit, fare < subsidies, freeloading on commuting
Taking a private car service, fare < the car price falling, freeloading off drivers
Having a baby, tuition < school subsidies, freeloading on education
Getting medical treatment, medical expenses < medical subsidies, freeloading on healthcare
Starting a business, taking venture capital for an IPO, freeloading on business capital
Spending a single penny of your own is no match for the dividends of the times
Turns out, it’s all for the people 😃
