I used to sell booger sugar and would go to sleep with a burner in my hand and wake up at all hours at night to conduct commerce.
When I quit, it took a few months for my leg to adjust to not having phones in my pocket constantly vibrating.
The lifestyle is terrible for your health.
- jonwest 5y agoYou’re also kind of easily disproving the thesis of the article. Drug dealing has always had an “always on” culture and this is nothing new or novel. They want to push that FaceTime and location tracking contribute to dealers feeling as though they’re “always on”, but that’s largely false. Before these were commonplace, if a dealer wanted to get a hold of someone they’d call them, page them, or otherwise “find” them. There are new tools now, sure, but the always on culture, I’d argue, has always been there.
