How humiliating would it be to have this guy deny you a loan?

Like any kind of pills a stranger gives you, it’s best to try these before you start getting all tight about what’s true. Free advice is usually the worst so I’ll give you a taste but then you gotta pay. Not because I’m a greedy Jew (((true))) but because they’ll work better if I charge you.

  1. Everyone who’s correct is annoying. Consider that the reason they annoy you is that they have a point. Figure out what you need to do from there.

  2. Don’t bring brimstone when padlocks will do. Bringing moralization to a practical problem feels good but won’t solve anything and may needlessly antagonize people who would otherwise be less troublesome.

  3. Justice is rarely satisfying.
