CHAPTER

Bread, Poverty, and Laughs

This chapter humorously examines the history of bread consumption, contrasting the desires of the wealthy with the struggles of the poor. It delves into socio-economic theories, exploring the implications of providing financial support to the impoverished and the misunderstood views on welfare systems. Through comedic dialogue, the hosts reflect on historical protests and the cyclical relationship between poverty and societal attitudes, blending serious themes with absurd humor.
