    People are giving away that much of their life for much less money all the time. That’s literally what working is.

      Prison isn’t like work. Sure there’s a lot to not like about work but comparing it to prison is a step too far

      I just did the math and if I spent the next 18 years at my current job with my current salary I’d earn about 500.000 moneys. Well, shit.
