Don’t be so cold hearted. This is all going to on the job training materials. That’s a whole lotta leaflets to hand out. We are going to run out of paper.

This should be a boon to the liquor and illegal drug industries.

We can change it from

“you don’t work - you don’t eat”

to

“you don’t work - you get money”

I hear the sound of the shuffling of feet. From the street to the Hotel to Apartment and back to the street again. I sure hope this change helps, but I have my doubts.
