Economic Serfdom


1. n, the condition of earning, individually or as a family unit, 0-1 percent more than must be paid out to satisfy needs and debts, per arbitrary pay period. Cf. “wage slavery.”

2. n, that state of one’s financial existence where one must risk one’s life on icy, slushy, snowy streets and highways crowded with other angry, incompetent, frazzled serfs, to get to one’s place of work where one clocks in for eight hours to earn just enough pay where one is forced to repeat the entire process day after day after day, ad infinitum.

For me, it’s why I drink read.
