Vinny, the Liquor Warehouse store manager, on the phone with his boss, the regional manager.

There is actually a Vinny in a business near me. It's a rental outlet for a national brand, and I had the pleasure of being served by him when I needed to rent something from his business. He was flustered and surrounded by incompetence, working his hardest and struggling to keep his temper. He also had Vinny-like hair! A young man finding himself in a managerial position with enough training to qualify for the job, just barely...

Poor Vinny. He knows, but nobody listens.

This is how you get black guys who know perfectly well not to mix bleach and ammonia, but when a white guy insists ... "Well, I tried to warn 'em," shrugs and walks away from ground zero.

Yup! Holding society up on their shoulders until they aren't anymore.

Vinny would love to pop over to your world for a while to maybe help out at the refugee camp. He'll find people who know his worth there. He's less likely to find them in my world.
