            Now listen, if you want to keep buying from me, I won’t stop you. What’re you going to do with 8 lbs of garlic a week anyway? I gotta keep my stock up for the garlic festival coming up in a few weeks…

    Data collection for how far they can push humans. My money is people will pray to lottery Jesus while being grateful for their corpse starch, and being apathetic that grandma is being recycled because she missed too many days of work.
