VL 'Stokely's dog' 49.1

One of Zoyd's attributes which I find endearing
is his lack of participation in organized labor. I
guess I support unions, but I find the reality of
having to work for someone else's profits and
then having to fight for basic rights, while being
a wage slave, a hideous option. Can't think of
a better reason for becoming a gypsy roofer.

 ii) other conditions of life as "not part of the dominant
subgroup" - pickup jobs, interesting domiciles and neighborhoods,
slang and (the thing I like the best) motherwit, physicality and
self-reliance giving proles great freedom even within their
constraints
