    The slaves’ illusion of being free workers, since they are paid money for their work. They don’t realize that this money will be taken from them later. There is not so much difference with real slaves, they were not paid, but at least they were given room and board, while a worker does not have this when the bank takes away their home because they could not pay the mortgage. Human rights in this society are only applicable to those who have the money to pay for them, since capitalism has turned these rights into another commodity.

      How far does that stubborness go? Like do you not write checks? Do you not use a credit/debit card? Cash only?

        Fortunately, not that far. I’ll set up recurring payments through my bank website, where I’m the one in charge. I won’t give, say, the power company permission to make withdrawals from my account.

      The reason why I will do not do SEPA and instead give them my PayPal instead.
      That way I get a full on notification in case someone withdraws anything from my account.

        SEPA is just a method, no one can just take money without permission. If anything, you gave PayPal permission so it can draw from your account, unless you transfer money to sit in your Paypal account.

    Isn’t this just implying you’re paycheck is just you billing yourself? The one portal leads to the other.

      Don’t worry, I’m sure OP was thorough in their research

      Since the image shows Atlas and P-Body,q this implies that this is co-op instead of single player so the blue portal came from a purple-ish portal and the yellow portal would lead to a red portal

      Well done OP
