a disproportionate number of servants @ home depot, overweight. they do the same things skinny people do. exception: long distance running. but not all skinny people do long distance running either. those overweight servants appear happy. (things not always the way they appear). those overweight servants have friends, family, jobs, drive cars, whatever.
working @ home depot has almost "normalized" being overweight. which is much different from when i went to ucsd in la jolla and almost everyone was scrawny.
below salvage value
hopeless
helpless
graceful degradation
rapidly getting much worse
grossly misunderstood
psychobabble
