I don't know if you've ever seen anyone die of alcoholism, but sadly it's very painful and undignified.
It seems to me that an abstemious old dishwasher would have a much more enjoyable and dignified old age, regardless of any moral judgement about the two.
- Frondo 9y agoMost of the old people in my family are dead or dying of alcohol-related things, and I still don't give a shit if people want to do that over working as a dishwasher well into old age. Forced labor isn't dignified because we're calling it capitalism.
