Today's OneWord: Welfare
"You're not considering the welfare of the people."
"Welfare? Bah! Welfare is for lazy people."
"Not the welfare program, you dolt. The people's welfare. Their conditions."
The Chancellor was not amused by any of his advisor's words. He reclined back on his green cushioned chair and lit a cigar.
"What else would you have me do?" he demanded. "I can't save or cure everyone's suffering."
"No," said his advisor, "but you can definitely try a little harder."
