She worked those jobs for a short time and really got an inside look about their lives and how hard they work. A lot of people have to work more than one job to get by, and at the end of the day they're exhausted. Every day. It's grueling and really rather hopeless. A powerful book, that.

► Israeli PM BENJAMIN NETANYAHU Calls For 3 More Israels In The Middle East

^ Democracy in the Middle East would be a good thing, but considering how the country chooses to act, 1 Israel is more than enough.



► New York Times Calls For The Elimination Of The Human Species Because Of Climate Change

^ Are humans hurting this planet? Yes. But what would this planet be without us? You want to kill all humans so that the animals can have a sweet place to live? GTFOH.



► Texas Public School Teacher Fired For Refusing Oath To Israel

^ This is definitely illegal. This is what happens when the U.S. government gets infiltrated by foreign nationals with dual citizenship who push legislation that makes it a crime for private citizens and businesses to boycott another nation's goods and services [i.e. practice ones free will].

A journalist tries out some low status jobs, like office cleaner, and also explains the traps that low-wage earners fall into in the US.

I'm interested, though I feel as though I'd just be reading a book describing what I'm already living and understand.

Probably so, but the mechanics of how the impoverished are kept in poverty is aptly described. It's validating.

I saw something similar recently (albeit less impressively engineered) with a box of dirty cat litter.
