The metaphor “make it rain,” as used by the kids and the paparazzi-elite,means “the money will fall on me, as if from the sky.”  In nature it does not rain on your yard solo. Your neighbor gets a splotch of rain too.  The metaphor, in other words, perverts nature just as Silicon Valley and Wall Street–drowning in money–shows.  The rootlessness in those places and the sea of disconnect in which they float.  And, yes, the thirst nearby.

Flood and drought: forces which trump decency, foster horror.

Louis C.K. wrote this: “I never viewed money as being ‘my money’ I always saw it as ‘The money.’ It’s a resource. if it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.”

Schools and teachers should be money flushers.

Whatever the hell an “A” student is, an “A” human being is one who gives away 90% of what they earn and have. A Molly teacher can be judged by no other criteria, because it’s not how much money you have but how much flows through you.
