The Great Fear of the Industrial System for the Working Class

Three years before, Bartolomayovans had a job washing dishes in the kitchen at Mucheen's restaurant near Times Square. The humidity level was so high that the water dripped from the ceiling onto his head the entire time he worked. Spent his entire shift standing over a tub of water, washing the dishes as it came out from the room. After a few months of working there, he realized, get feel, his lungs constrictor. And he knew he couldn't afford to get sick. So he quit. Within a month, with no work at all, he was spiraling down to the very bottom of the industrial system.
