    this wouldn’t have saved me, i was already driving when i started to get fucked up on [discontinued brand] at school

    better thing to do would be to not make teenagers get up in the morning

      Seriously they should, it would be better for them. They dont because sports and extra curricular come after 3 PM (if they start later that all starts later too) and also cause it fits parents’ work schedules. Except theyre teens, they hopefully should be able to be trusted to be more independent and go to school by 10 AM.

        Ah but that would send the dangerous message to the proles that they have some right to sleep in for health which might carry over into adulthood as demands for flexible work hours to suit human bodies and lifestyles! porky-scared

        Better to beat them down as children, regiment them, abuse them, force them to take drugs and get used to it early so it’s seen as normal and part of “growing up” porky-happy (And as a bonus it generates demand for our caffeine drug market further taking money from their pockets and adding another cost they have to bear just to earn a living)

          I just keep thinking of the dead teens graves that should be marked “died while driving exhausted, so we could keep school schedules aligned for maximum profit generation”

            The phrase “maximum profit generation” is now sticking in my head like a concept: that is what it will be to whatever comes after the Alphas or whatever the fuck they’re up to now. Betas? Ligmas?

            Regardless, the last generation raised under late capitalism before it either rises to socialism or submerges into barbarism will truly be the Maximum Profit Generation.
