    So, in many states…

    1. Can’t be homeless.
    2. Can’t be dead on purpose (suicide’s illegal).
    3. Can’t have an abortion.
    4. Can’t marry a same-sex spouse.
    5. Can’t get healthcare if you don’t have a job, and even if you can, it’s super expensive and not likely to cover everything.

    So I guess, just make sure that you’re born well-to-do, never make any mistakes, and are a straight, cis-gender man. Really narrows things down and puts life into clear perspective.

        Jeez. It’s sort of the worst kind of dystopic future there is.

        Concrete walls, iron bars, hard labor, and an ever increasing debt.

        Maybe I’m dumb, but how hard would it be to just not agree to work? They gonna beat you to death? Sounds better than being a slave

          They gonna beat you to death?

          Nono, it’s much worse! They’ll torture you until you WISH they’d have beat you to death and then they’ll torture you some more!
