Always ready

Leisure is the privilege of the wealthy class. The poor man can only be like a mule with his neck strangled, his eyes covered with miniature octagonal hats, he staggeredly lifted his hoof, his footsteps circled the stone, groping in the darkness of time and space. The 25-hour work system was created for workers to accurately ensure that they are carrying their work tremblingly and moving forward at every moment. The black box in the hands of the couriers was also born for them. The software engineer who designed this program can go to the toilet. The couriers get busy, but they have to use plastic bottles to solve the urine, because in the minds of capitalists, personal attachment is equal to killing their lives. Does the machine need time to struggle and breathe? No, refueling and lubrication can't be stopped, because the profit of tumbling is constant.

Trial and error is costly, and the tolerance of fault tolerance is not left to the general public. The child was young and energetic, and did not care to get into trouble. In the end, it was found that the dignity of parents was compromised. They had love but no capital and resources to use. They only asked grandpa to tell grandma to pretend to be grandson and smooth the matter. Sebastian's role is similar to the lunatic in "Road to Revolution". He is an inserted narrator, unconsciously revealing the possible fate. "So I want to go to school, owe 57,000 in debt, and then, like Harpoon's brother, go to the call center as an operator." Everyone is drunk. He is alone. As a young man, his eyes are not heavy in the long term. His original intention was to break free. Fettered, but did not see the clear price behind the fate, and the inability to bear the consequences means that parents need more explanations and extra working hours to their employers to squeeze a little bit of pitiful time in the whirlpool of being unable to get out. He settled the school and the police.

Workers are kidnapped by the timeline. Their daughters must learn to go to bed at 8:45 and their parents will come back at 11 o'clock. Time spent with their parents and playing is spent in express delivery together. Work and companionship are always intertwined. Every explanation she waited for was "I'm too busy", "the boss changed the time temporarily", or she was so embarrassed that she asked, "Can't you go and play by yourself?" "Why do you have to be with an adult?" Opportunities to change your destiny are very limited. Now with the flood of academic qualifications, unless you bet on top-notch schools and popular majors, those graduates who can't catch the wind are still continuing the story of their parents.

The sad thing about this movie is that this is a story for everyone, not exclusively for British couriers, but a takeaway guy with two yellow rabbit ears, a restaurant that is busy washing and cooking dishes to greet customers, and is on duty. Workers with irregular night shifts, this is "the tragedy of labor." But what can I do? After singing, I still have to continue to climb the schedule conscientiously. After all, worker ants can be replaced.
