Damn. What heartless sobs. And all for saving that measly cent.

Like…how is this even a thing?

“People are dying” should be the last fucking statement on it. Fuck your goddamn profits. Eat my dick. Fuck capitalism

Capitalism requires human sacrifice and suffering in order to function. Most economic systems do, unfortunately. Wage slavery is still slavery, but modernized. That way, we all can be slaves.

Hopefully people won't stand for this, dying in the heat because your boss said you can't have water or a break. It's just so absurd, there's no way people will accept this. I hope.
