“I was conducting a small real-world experiment to map how money moves through a local economic system and back to the federal government. I used bottled water on nearby trees, redeemed the empty containers through Oregon’s BottleDrop system, and followed how the redeemed value moved through a local business and eventually returned to federal government revenue through taxation.

A man at Buster’s watched me watering the trees, called me an expletive, and accused me of not paying taxes. I had no interest in stopping to explain an economic theory to someone insulting me, so I simply told him that I pay all of my taxes without deductions. He responded by insisting that I paid no taxes at all. A waitress from Buster’s came outside and began yelling at me as well.

The foolish part was not the experiment. It was watching two people representing a business confidently insult and accuse someone while having no understanding of what he was doing or how he handled his taxes.

I have not eaten there yet. But Buster’s looks great. I still plan to try it.“

“Delicious food. Great calm environment. Just what the mountain needed.“
