2. How can she even do that?
Going to damage her back. Clearly he plus the basket weighs more than she does.

4. Actually, she can't. but that doesn't matter to the rich.
she probably died an early death due to several maladies caused by improper sanitation, poor drinking water, any number of diseases and, not to mention, issues with her back and general health due to slave labor.

We are replaceable, we are replaced everyday. The rich know this and don't care. To paraphrase Doritos, "we'll enslave more".

3. Somewhere a teabagger is saying:
"Why isn't she walking!!" OR, "She should be happy she has a job!!"

5. Typical, and always looking where they've been, not where they're going. nt
