As we see American cities overrun by masked men with little accountability the boom in private security post-2020 is a haunting lesson.
This is what happens when men are given big money to treat citizens protesting like insurgents.

Work release programs are a form of wage slavery because it is fixed to be so.
Attaching social services to a job is also a form of wage slavery because itβs fixed to be so.
Working while imprisoned behind the wall a form of wage slavery because it is fixed to be so.
Not appalled, just pallβed.

My company food allowance is Β£50 per day. Realised I can buy a couple of homeless people a sizeable meal whenever I travel and consume fewer calories at the same time. Makes me feel great and have had some great chats with real people. Do it if you can.
