Been there. Working in a sweatshop, I mean warehouse as a conveyor belt operator aka box tosser. You drive home playing music loud enough so no one can hear your screams and then you get there, chug tap water and make a prison spread so you have enough gmo-fueled energy to wake up the next morning. Terrible. Just fucked.

i remember being without electricity for one week, living in a neighborhood of night lights and air conditioning. i felt so far away, so removed, so invisible....and yet...me and my daughter laughed, we sang, we gathered over candles and when all was quiet, so quiet in the night, we slept better than we had ever. People forget how little it takes to live. We lavish, we live in a luxury the rest of the world does not know.
