Wage inflation generally has an inverse relation to unemployment. When wages are inflated, there is a temporary rise in unemployment and then the rate of unemployment tends to shrink. Conversely, deflating wages will temporarily lower the unemployment rate before it begins to rise

There are other economic models and you know it.

[electronichound]

Guilty as charged.

[fred_cassidy]

What, that's it? Did you hit your head?

...How hard would you have to hit your head to affect your behavior, anyway?

[electronichound]

It would have to damage my neural circuitry or damage my biological neural tissues. It would have to be strong enough to cause stress to treated titanium.

You've got a point there, buddy.

However, just 'cause our money is worthless doesn't mean that the crew and the captain aren't getting paid.

Hell, the captain might really be just a captain, and even though he's 'a great man' he might not be the top dog.

[electronichound]

['Buddy'. Reminds him of Togusa.]

Good points, both of them. I don't relish the thought of someone hiring Redd.

[hadalotofsugar]

Thanks, I try to keep my points sharp. [There's his wisecrack, and now to be semi-serious.]

It could be possible he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart, but I seriously doubt that. So either he's getting paid to do it, somehow, or he's just... off his gourd. [Which he hasn't discounted either.]

[electronichound]

Or he's running on a set of assumptions and information that we don't have access to. He still might be mad in that scenario.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Perhaps empty flattery and waterfowl are how he is repaid for his... work...

[electronichound]

I doubt it. Flattery he gets from the crew. Listen to them.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I have made it a point not to believe what they say.

[electronichound]

Why? They believe what they say.

[This is him.] ...you. I wanna talk to you.

[electronichound]

I'm here, Daxter.

[does_everything]

First of all-

That was wrong. WRONG. You understand me? If you ain't a hot chick, don't sound like one!

[diverged_fate]

Someone's gotta explain that 'he's a great man,' line. I've heard it a bunch of times... it's at least got a story behind it, right?

[electronichound]

Do you know the term 'brainwashing'?

[diverged_fate]

... Yeah, I know it.
