Help the needy, go on a cruise

A lot of my retired friends are going on cruises. They have the money and they have the time. You can go on some cruises for as little as a hundred dollars a day. You can order whatever you want at meals; and you can eat as many meals as you can handle. You can relax, enjoy yourself, be entertained, and have all your needs met by a host of people who are there to serve you. Recently I have been thinking about the people who work on cruise ships. Many of them are from poor countries; they are absent from home and families for long periods of time; the hours are long and the work demanding; and the pay is not that good. But this is how they support their families. Next time people ask you why you are going on a cruise, tell them you are providing employment.
