this sucks so much

i also hate that they're gonna hire real people, to staff and manage the places, and those people are gonna start slowly convincing themselves that maybe it's not stupid to wake up and get dressed and go to work so people can buy an orange is the new black sweater. which is really sad, the quiet desperation of it all. people's livelihood now depends on this garbage.
