Upton Sinclair wrote an expose on how manipulated American factory workers were and how socialism was the answer. And everyone’s takeaway was just, “ew they’re putting rats in our food”. Which, yeah that sucks, but is kinda missing the bigger picture.
Anyway, whenever I see issues with the FDA being underfunded I think about some of the imagery in that book and cringe
It’s a quick enjoyable read at the very least, definitely suggest it. Some of the imagery of the slaughterhouse still comes back to me at times.
strong disagree. the book is a slog and a half. i used to like reading and then we were assigned the jungle and all quiet on the western front and a decade+ later I still hate books.
Your opinion: :wojak-nooo:
My opinion: :gigachad-hd:
I don't think bad books can ruin the activity of reading. Because you can put them down and grab good books.
I think you just can't be bothered to read anymore because your attention span got nuked by TV and the internet.
