From 2023: Alone and Exploited, #Migrant #Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.

@tek AWKWARD. What's that negotiation with the ad department like?

"Oh, look who's back. Sooooo... you'll be paying for the year that you left. What's that? We don't care. And you'll be on the new logarithmic scale for weasels. Yes we COULD reduce it but we won't.
