Back when I worked for the department of transportation it was no secret that our building maintenance, down to the assembly of our cubicles, was done by prisoners. Slavery is legal today it’s called the prison system
I think if authors are too poor to survive piracy and readers are too poor not to pirate then we need to have a really serious conversation about where all that money is and why it isn't circulating properly.
She was a 25 year old lawyer in Ayacucho, Peru when her boyfriend attacked her in a hotel in July 2015. The security cameras captured everything. Him chasing her. Dragging her by the hair. Her screaming for help while hotel staff tried to intervene. The court watched the footage.
Then sentenced him to one year suspended for minor injuries. The more serious charges - dropped. She refused to accept it. She went public. Put her name and her face to everything. Took the fight to the media, to the courts, to the streets. On August 13 2016 half a million Peruvians marched through Lima. The largest demonstration in the history of Peru. Led by her.
The appeals court threw out the original verdict. He was retried. Convicted of attempted f3micide. Sentenced to 11 years in prison. She went on to become a member of Congress. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her name is Arlette Contreras. And she was just getting started.

Taylor’s dropping millions into NYC for a massive wedding on a holiday weekend when the city’s a ghost town anyway, paying workers overtime & filling hotels. But sure, the real villain is a billionaire not choosing your preferred venue. Working class people: ‘She’s just like us!’ also ‘How dare she inconvenience my commute I don’t even have this weekend’ Y’all would riot if she picked a private island too. Just say you hate successful women having fun.
