"He was coming so fast, there wasn't any time to move all the way out the way"

Scott-Windham returned to Mobile Wednesday night with the bullet still in her foot, along with multiple fractures.

She'll need to return to an orthopedist in two weeks to check on her foot. But the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence, and she worries she'll have to find a new job once she's recovered.

Hate to break it to you, but gross labor exploitation has been going on a long, long time.

I should be glad to inform that labor exploitation has been going on since long before 1984 and/or Cyberpunk dystopia fiction?
