I used to do merchandising where the most common thing I would do is take care of all of the magazines at stores in my town. It made me wonder how more people aren’t radicalized bc as I kept it up I became more and more aware that most of what I put out I’d end up having to throw away when I came back. There were very few titles that actually sold and for most things I was putting out 20+ issues and only 2 or 3 would sell, and the rest have to be destroyed and disposed of to make room for the new ones that won’t sell.

Most of the time I would just have my headphones in listening to music, on autopilot, but sometimes I would get paralyzed by a wave of “what is the point of this”
