    They spent it on whatever they need/want. What they don't spend they put in the bank (making it available for other people to borrow), invest it is stocks (making it possible for businesses to expand and create more job) or bonds (making it possible for governments to do things like build schools and libraries) or give it to charities.

    Neal:

    Thanks for your time & patience.

    I remain somewhat persuaded by the apparent empirical support & feel that at the very least the mystery needs to be explained. Miskolczi's various plots showing the computed relationship of AA & ED at various altitudes, in various atmospheric profiles, derived by various methods, cry out to me for an explanation.

    However, I agree that your questions deserve a response & I can't answer them. So I'm going to sit back & patiently wait to see if Dr. Miskolczi responds.

    Get rid of whatever makes them hopeless for you. We are ways for each other, so find your way. Come on, be honest and come out with it. If not that, then you need better nutrition so you can enjoy and endure the strains in life. social times are good times for healthy people, that's why your health is the most valuable asset you have. Take your favorite food and share.

    Winter refers to Richard's advanced age. It can be read as: Richard the Lionhearted as an old man.

    EDIT: the fact that the play is set in winter is just to emphasize the metaphor
