Potato Chips for Oracles...
Published:
"Today, thanks to Phil Hartman's hilarious parody on Saturday Night Live, most of us know the revelatory climax of Soylent Green as pure camp: The world's most popular new brand of food is processed from the corpses of the recent dead--a necessary evil that allows humanity to continue endlessly increasing our consumption without a care for the consequences. In 1973, that was science fiction--but how far out is it, really? No, that potato chip you're eating isn't your grandmother. But consider the clothes you wear and the screen you're staring at; they were quite possibly manufactured by children in sweatshops or migrants working in conditions we ourselves would never tolerate. Our lifestyle of comfort has been built on a foundation of systemic dehumanization; in other words, it's made out of people."

My husband works in a machine shop, Master Machinist for 27 years, same company, just last week during the heatwave, it reached tempratures of almost 130 degrees, all they could do was shut everything down and wait,
I work in the opposite, I work in tempratures of 33 degrees all year long, I unload the pallets from off the truck, I put away almost 7 thousand pounds of stock. we both have jobs that suck, we do this to keep a roof over our head and food on the table. This is what you have to do to survive,

There are people packed like sardines into work-site "dormitories" who manufacture products for WalMart so efficiently that their price to us allows us to throw them away rather than repair them when they fail.
By the way, what's wrong with being a Master Machinist?
