The U.S. market value of a heartbeat.
Our leaders say:
At 18 days of fetal development, we have heartbeats, and thus are precious beyond measure and should not be aborted; we are human life.
At 18 years of age, after trying our very best to overcome mental and physical barriers we were worthwhile enough to be born with, some of us are incapable of doing enough work that other people want to buy; we are _not_ owed basic human living.
The message? They don't consider us human.
Fuck capitalism.
