He lives on SSI disability, before that, was an office mgr for a commie bookstore in Detroit and before that for the IWW. I have "paid" him for most of the things I have of his, but mainly to spare him embarassment at giving him gifts of money that he has needed for particular things, chiefly medicare care. What I have paid him must be a small fraction of the value of the work rated objectively, but he wouldn't take more than he needed at a time. jks
