decimation: well,
a private corp would open themselves up to civil suits

a week for eighty bucks. No. You need
a team.
A team of psychiatrists working round the clock thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like the way they did with the Elephant Man. That's what I'm talking about because that's the only way you're going to get better.

a lens right in front of your eye.

a fuckup with making these?
