    They’re trying to go back to the 1800s. The giant, old, textile factory near where I live had dorms where the workers would live on premises and were paid in script for the stores owned by the factory. Like coal villages. They converted them into luxury loft apartments now.

      🎶You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go. I owe my soul to the company store.🎶
