Great Lines: The Abolishing Work Edition
Sup everyone. Muneer here.
- This newsletter is going to be all the great lines and zingers from things I read on the Web. As most of you know, I read a lot. Probably more than I should.
- The links aren’t necessarily timely. I read a lot of old stuff. I’m not up with the times.
- And in the course of reading, I often see lines that are hilarious or beautiful.
- I will bring those to you in this space.

Neall Ellis had a successful career as a military pilot behind him and an easygoing civilian life to look forward to. There was just one problem: He was immensely bored with living like a regular guy.
