I haven't been this disappointed with my fellow humans in a while.

Maybe the question was never whether people needed fundamental rights, but whether they deserved them.

There is a reason that you cannot sign your fundamental rights away in a contract and why contracts can’t override laws; because poor people need the money and they will do it if they don’t have a better option.

Have you considered that the people doing this are those for whom 30$ a day is a big deal? You can’t feed your kids with privacy, but 30$ goes a long way.

And 30 dollars for hanky panky time. And 30 dollars for poop monitors. And 30 dollars for your Ring cameras.

Welcome to capitalism. We don’t need to assign moral judgement to the poor for trying to scrape by.

The amazing part is how the competent, worthwhile ones ever got so far hauling the others along, despite every last counterproductive kicking and screaming effort to stop it.
