I watched Leverage for the first time way too young, and a lot of things went over my head. I just rewatched “The Future Job” from Leverage and something about this scene just hit me.
#I think another good one for this sentiment is ‘low low price job’ #where it’s unambiguous that the walmart stand-in is evil #(killing mom-and-pop stores; union busting; emotional manipulation of employees; so on and so forth) #but by having Hardison say those low prices were the only way nana was able to put food on the table #the writers are saying: ‘you aren’t evil for having to shop here or work here #we understand it’s tough out there#we understand that you’re cogs in a wicked machine you never signed up to be a part of #capitalism chews us all up and spits us all out and we’re sorry about that #but let’s live in a 42-minute fantasy where we can bite back’ (via @wordybee)
