No love can be in that house with the wife a mere bought thing like a washing machine, children stunted and dweebish and poorly socialized, used as pawns for squabbles. But all he has to do is trot out his hot wife and all the chubby tradchuds go YISS one of us and bob their beards up and down excitedly, it can be done, he is our god-emperor because he is proof, and even though you will never achieve it yourselves, that domestic felicity exists out there on the edge of hope like the Workers' Paradise of old Communism, a thing for the elite like chicken Kiev while everyone else chokes down turnips.According to some agencies humans are simply a commodity, like everything else. Some stats claims, I don't know if true, that human trafficking (use for forced labor, prostitution, slavery, fishing, migration/invasion, etc) it only is second to illegal drugs. Likely less than various and sundry financial crimes but those are too complex to get much coverage, or not investigated because 'too big to fail,' 'The Big Guy,' and politicians, suddenly, becoming multimillionaires- and don't rock the boat, we will lift all boats from this deal done in the cloakroom and we know what you did in the cloakroom, so you better vote this way.
