A strange week for acquisition


New project desk with built-in shelving units;
new leather chair with stainless steel legs;
wool sweater with likeness of JFK;
two bottles of expensive Aveda hair spray.
QUESTION: Which of these items was actually given to me by a Northeast pastor who runs a clearinghouse/food shelf operation that benefits neighborhood folks in need?
QUESTION: Which of these items cost the most?
QUESTION: What might the first two answers imply about economic participation and the distribution of wealth in the USA?
