This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think it's a clever metaphor for the disparity in living standards and the real value of human life in a corrupt marketplace.

But the actual implementation of the story was a bit clumsy and heavy handed.

I remember after I left the movie as a teenager with my parents two older dudes were bickering about whether poor people in our actual world are able to escape poverty or not if they work hard.

You can escape poverty if you work hard in the same way that you can escape Earth's orbit if you work hard
