Different Sources

You can’t build an Engine without a source. I picked a source from the menu. But not everyone has the same menu. I got a two-year work-travel visa in 1998-99 and considered my options while working as a waiter, night-porter, and teaching assistant. In the UK, the Jobcentre is part of the Department for Work and Pensions and delivers working age support-services. Helping with the menu. The National Minimum Wage is increasing to £8.72/hour in April. At the moment, that is about R170. Close to a day’s wages in South Africa at the lower end. Many things cost less in Rands, but being a Soutie (one foot in SA, on foot in the UK) punches you in the face with Global Inequality. The Gini Coefficient measures inequality. South Africa takes gold at 63% which is the same as Global Inequality (Lafuente, 2006). The worst country is the world’s self-portrait. Conveniently hidden by borders, distance, and Global Apartheid.
