“BRED FOR SUPERIORITY” MEETS ITS POLAR OPPOSITE
Well, this was a crime worthy of
Ocean’s 11. Or perhaps more appropriately IQ of 11. Twenty-one-year-old Royshana King (no word on whether she has a brother named Siegfriedshana) of Houston was looking to score big. A real caper, a real “this’ll put us on easy street” kinda crime. But what to steal? Where to hit? Jewelry stores? Naw, the good ones have that whacked-out security shit where you gotta go through a door into a little booth then through another door, making it hard to smash and grab. Also, they have that other security system called “instinct” that prompts proprietors to cock their weapons when a 21-year-old who looks like Royshana King walks in.

Water – the elixir of life – is often overlooked when it comes to sustaining health, while food is highly prioritised. However, the
migration of workers from cities to their hometowns during the first wave of the pandemic left many of them with no food and water.
However, thanks to many NGOs and humanitarians, a bit of this situation was under control due to the many food distribution drives. However, once the Shramik trains were arranged for these workers, it came to light that there wasn’t enough food and water for them.
