We had a wonderful Christmas he videocalled me while opening his gifts which he really liked (Japanese Pokémon cards and a telescope). Happy to see our family but sad to leave.

Due to him having lost his job and his family being unsupportive my parents stepped up and offered to pay the entirety of our rent. He supported me while I was harassed by my landlord, I supported him getting out of addiction, successfully. We have endured a lot of tough experiences together. I recognise this as depression and decide to stay on his side as he is a wonderful person who deserves is. Recently he lost his job, his family hasn’t been supportive (they actually are pretty bad towards both of us) and he has become extremely selfish and bitter towards me.

A morally reprehensible―and very profitable business. “Slavery in the United States was a business. The result is a groundbreaking investigation of business practices in Southern and West Indian Plantations and an essential contribution to our understanding of slavery’s relationship with capitalism. Contrary to narratives that depict slavery as a barrier to innovation, Accounting for Slavery explains how elite planters turned their power over enslaved people into a productivity advantage. They took meticulous notes, carefully recording daily profits and productivity, and subjected their slaves to experiments and incentive strategies comprised of rewards and brutal punishment.
