I failed to find the appropriate Upton Sinclair quote but I did find this one instead that I quite like:
Beneath the hundred thousand women of the elite are a million middle-class women, miserable because they are not of the elite, and trying to appear of it in public; and beneath them, in turn, are five million farmers' wives reading 'fashion papers' and trimming bonnets, and shop-girls and serving-maids selling themselves into brothels for cheap jewelry and imitation seal-skin robes. And then consider that, added to this competition in display, you have, like oil on the flames, a whole system of competition in selling! You have manufacturers contriving tens of thousands of catchpenny devices, storekeepers displaying them, and newspapers and magazines filled up with advertisements of them!
I hate society and everything and am onboard with a lot of this sentiment, but I still feel compelled to register that I’m skeptical that many women of Sinclair’s society sold themselves into brothel prostitution in hopes of buying cheap jewelry or a nice robe.
Have you never heard of a sugar daddy?
He specifically says brothels, though, which both then and now was a separate social phenomenon which women enter for different reasons; typically to meet subsistence needs, because, especially then, not only is brothel work difficult, but having it discovered one worked in a brothel would render one permanently unemployable in respectable work and unmarriageable

I'm seeing a lot of cooking plans but no one here bought the traditional box of chocolates for the SO?
My grandpa contracted with edible arrangements. I don't even like chocolates. I'm blatantly regifting to the girl I'm dating.

The quote you were probably looking for was that the reason socialism never took hold in America was because the poor see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires
GF spent the afternoon here teleworking a little bit and then we watched sex education. It was good to be together after a couple weeks.
I surprised her with a rose and a card for V-Day. Nothing outrageous though.

I should leave work now to get started because making breaded fried chicken tenders from scratch takes like an hour and a half if you count the refrigeration time.

Oh shiiit the FF7 remake community manager is looking for streamers to get the game early or whatever. Threw my hat in the ring, here's hoping. (also if you're on Twitter and wanna like my tweet to make me seem cooler that'd be rad)
I am extremely hype after that opening cutscenes video. It's so good! Ahhhhh
Done, I hope you get this.

Surprisingly for a long time in the west marrying a prostitute wasn't seen as a big deal. The gender imbalance was so big that there wasn't much room to be picky. If the woman left that life behind her she could generally assume a new, legitimized identity.
But also most prostitutes didn't work in brothels. The vast majority were actually part timers, who'd supplement their income with a mix of odd jobs like washing, selling vegetables, sewing, and prostitution.

I mean, this sounds like he was largely correct except for implying they were working in actual brothels.

I really like the architecture of the DC metro, I thought I hated brutalist architecture but like a lot of things I thought I hated, I guess I don't, I guess I'd only been exposed to bad examples

is it because it's so clean when compared to many other subways?
I mean yes, but not as clean as Montreal was. I think I just genuinely like the architecture. The honeycomb thing

Eat more chocolates and you'll be cured of some of these.
