      The social contract:

      “You get nothing. Work or die. Sleep in the barracks/pod. Eat the bugs.”

      Which sounds… I dunno, why? If that’s the deal I’m offered I have a few questions: why do I care about your laws, your social mores, even you saying you own shit, right?

      And whenever I ask them, I get the shit beaten out of me.

      That’s what I made as a grad student ten years ago, damn.

      And yet, that was still the most I’d ever made in my life at that point.
