If you work hard, are honest, and moral, you will get ahead in life.

It was embarrassingly late in life before I realized how much of a farce that was.

    Oh man! The pieces of myself I gave working for companies that gave zero shits about me! I worked way too hard for way too little. I was nothing to them.

    Kids if you're reading this unionize your workplace. Through a union is the only way I've gotten a decent wage, benefits package, and shield from the whims of management. They're nothing without us, they produce no value.
