    Me: Marx didn’t predict I’d use adderall to respond to texts haha
    Scholar’s QT of page 651 of Capital:
    𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑡s 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝐿𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑇𝑎𝑠𝑘𝑠

    Marx does use the reports of an inspector who states that a woman was in such a distraught and impoverished state as a result of her employer, that she was feeding her children opium. So that's pretty close.

    I do that one too
