It's like being held hostage and making fun of your captor for not shooting you yet

If you liked it and want another Steinbeck banger set in the Great Depression you should check out In Dubious Battle. For some reason it gets left out when The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men are mentioned, but it is my favorite of the three. It's about an apple pickers strike in California, and follows the communist organizers trying to lead it.

The only place on earth that Venus Flytraps grow naturally is within a narrow range along the coast of the southern US. They aren't from the Amazon, or Borneo, or any place exotic like a rain forest. They only grow in a bare sandy patch of geography about an hour north of Myrtle Beach

I wrote a previous comment on this, but pretty much this exact same thing happened, and it caused the Donner Party. The real life guy was somehow even dumber than Zapp Branigan, and later helped establish the famous colony of ex-confederates in Brazil.

I bet he's a carnist too and doesn't give a shit about any other animal species. And I'd like to know his opinions on humanity causing an ongoing climate disaster that can't stop/won't stop grinding all life on earth into paste. And further, how all this fake ai crap is accelerating that disaster through massive energy consumption. screm-a these people all make me insane

the laborer is the victim of that process, not the beneficiary. the capitalist who inserts themselves between the laborer and the provisioning of their necessities is the king of the assholes

The American economy from the perspective of the worker is like that one long shot in Goodfellas when Ray Liotta is just handing out 20s to every person he sees between the door and his table, but in reverse. You draw your paycheck and suddenly a million porky-happy line up to take it from you
