You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Duh'vanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

I cannot relate to any of that.

Do you take any responsibility for the position you find yourself in?
USA is a lot different from Canada Lex @The Prowler

That's a 'Work Culture'

Mind you, people live shorter lives, die sooner than Canada, eh.

That was my experience after living in the States

- Wake Up at 4:00 AM to the sound of gunshots.

- Fall back asleep until your alarm rings at 6:00 AM.

- Make a 3 course breakfast of pancakes topped with enough syrup to kill a small child, 4 eggs, and a half pound of bacon. Drink an entire pot of coffee in 45 minutes while watching fox/cnn news.

- Hop in your SUV that is 15 years old and gets 12 miles per gallon, refuel it twice on your 30 minute commute to work at white castle.

- Clock in at 7:02, get written up immediately for being 2 minutes late.

- See your entire crew of 16-21 year old children in the freezer vaping their weed pen.

- Give all of them a final write up for contaminating the food and vaping indoors, only to have it repealed by the general manager because they are Black/Latino. (There was 1 lightskin vaping in the freezer with a bunch of white people).

- You get written up instead for discriminating against employees.

- Finally you get to go to lunch, you are 5 hour into your 10 hour shift.

- Eat 6 sliders and 2 orders of fries with an XL Dr. Pepper.

- Halfway through your break see corporate come through the door, immediately clock back in to pick up the slack for your infantile work force.

- Time to order for drive thru is at 2:15, your storewide goal is 2:30. Corporate tells you that you need to bring it down to 1:50, which is literally impossible because of how long it takes for the speaker to register a car.

- Corporate doesn't care, they promptly walk out and threaten a demotion if you can't make this quota.

- Leave the office only to see a 9 car long drivethru with half of your crew in the bathroom and the other half walked out.

- Run the kitchen by yourself.

- Phone call comes in "well, Daniel, we think that Jamal is actually a better fit for your job, so we are going to need you to step down. Plus, he is autistic AND black! How cool is that?"

- Get home at 9 PM because so many people called off. refuel SUV another 2 times on your commute home.

- You made 42K/year

- You worked 60 hours a week minimum.

- No benefits whatsoever.

- No overtime because you where salaried.

- Look in the mirror and blow your brains out.

MURICAAAAA
Interesting @Kingoffrogs

Your synopsis reminds me a lot of book I read
called Working by Studs Terkel.



He documented all these personal accounts from working people in America what their jobs were like. this was before the Computer revolution began in the 1980s.

Is that when you started to get really fat?
You could probably fit a child's wading pool in your tiny backyard.

don't laugh @The Prowler

Most Americans are.

It's a serious problem for them, eh.

Okay, a large percentage of Americans are fat.

Maybe even most.

But Poopy Pants @Lily is massive.

She has an oversized keyboard for extra fat fingers.

They had to reinforce her floor because it kept sagging in the middle of rooms.

She can only load her car with 10 pounds of groceries or it will not move.

That means several trips to the grocery store each and every day.

She cannot find a hat that fits her massive head.

Dude, she is gigantic!!!

Actually I blame the food companies for the obesity epidemic in America. They put in HFCS & all sorts of additives into the food which caused Americans' weights to balloon

Before in the 1960s and 70s hardly anyone or far fewer people in the States was fat
