Doling out what everybody knows...

“Everybody knows that the dice are loaded,

SO wrote Leonard Cohen in his song entitled ‘Everybody Knows’. Universal truths are something everybody knows. One universal truth at this time of living austerely is that those without work have it made.

Everybody knows that the dole is generous, everybody knows that welfare life is warm, everybody knows that they’re acting the maggot, everybody knows it’s doing fierce harm.
