Yeah I’m not going to be surprised when fash glob onto this, I think Eggers himself admitted this was going to be a problem.
Which sucks cuz a big part of the main characters arc is him realizing how fucked up this all is, and that he himself is a byproduct of sexual slavery, he was just too broken and detached before to realize it all, which I think is part of his decision in the end to sacrifice himself.
As a guy who works in a brewery, I wish someone would make a kitchen nightmares for breweries.
“Oh my gawd! Your cellar has awful drainage and the fermenters are spaced way too close together, look at all this mold! No wonder you get so many viral hits!”
“Well look man rent is killing me and I gotta pack as many FVs into this space as I can.”
“Why are you making so many fruited sours? Do you know how expensive barrels of purée are? Also your diaphragm pump is from the 80s, so you’re losing like half a barrel of purée every batch!”
“That pump was a steal”
Cut to brewery employee: “yeah our sours are dog shit but the owner says that’s ‘what’s hot’. Idk man we could make like a decent American IPA and just market it well and make bank. Aw fuck the Lauter tun rakes broke again!”
