    Just read the plot of grapes of wrath, uhhh, you do understand that the story is about late stage capitalism right? And the person you were responding to is saying how we live in similar times right?

    Its like someone saying poison can kill you and you respond with: see this story about how bad lots of poison is… yeah… that’s the point.

      I remember a scene in Grapes where they realized their ground beef had sawdust in it, and then decided to eat it anyway.

      Have you read it?
