The Economy

The Economy

I was sent the article below and do not know who the author was but full credit to them for a brilliant bit of humour.

Students were asked to write an essay on "THIEVES". This is what one student wrote:

Thieves are an important part of a nation's economy. They play a significant role in providing employment and contributing to the nation's development.

Safes, locks, lockers, cupboards, etc., are made only because of thieves. Many factories and workshops involved in making these items provide employment thanks to this profession.

Even in homes, masons and workers get work installing latches, locks, grills on windows and doors.

Then, to protect houses, shops, schools, colleges, offices, and factories, security guards and watchmen are essential.

Companies that manufacture CCTV cameras, metal detectors, and security systems also generate jobs.

Because of thieves, police officers, court staff, judges, lawyers, and others are employed.

Purchases of barricades, weapons, bullets, batons, uniforms, vehicles, and motorcycles for the police help boost the economy.

Thanks to thieves - jails, jailers, and prison staff have jobs.

When items like mobiles, laptops, cars, motorcycles, electrical appliances, purses, or lipsticks are stolen, people have to buy them again, which boosts business.

Famous and notorious thieves often enter politics, where even bigger thefts take place. Much more could be said, but overall, the contribution of thieves to a nation's economy is noteworthy."

The teacher awarded this research-rich essay full marks.
