This relentless squeeze for money would almost be comical if it wasn’t so pervasive and gross. We’ve got the airlines gauging for you to be able to pick a seat. Streaming companies demanding you verify you’re you on your WiFi. Social media charging to verify. And oh yeah, my gym that distinguishes between which type of Pilates you do, and charges you $30 for an hour’s ass time on a wood plank. Fuck my life. They want every damn dime.

I also wondered about this. The problem, I think, is that so many street drugs are being cut with it, and it’s becoming cheaper to use. Obviously it’s not a regulated thing, so it would not be unusual for the “cooks” to fuck things up, and kill a lot of people.

I remember too well when this hit the news. I don’t know whether it was true, but it was reported that a set of seats was hanging off a tree with bodies still strapped in. I will never be able to put that out of my mind. I can’t even imagine what people who were there went through. And I don’t know what punishment is great enough for people who would commit such unspeakable horror in the world.
