Gotta keep the rift raft away, I proposed this to my city council but they just said i was being intolerant and insensitive, whatever.

On the one hand I have utter admiration for the people, the industry and the sheer free-market at work.

On the other, revulsion and gratitude that it doesn't exist here.

Still. I'd rather live on the streets than 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, with darkness all year round...

they still have the other 12 hours free, and you can use those hours to see the outside and plan your escape from this.... hole.
