Now he is looking for a Personal Injury Solicitor.

Capitalism, punk as fuck
"Imagine this: you're 23, working in a grocery store for minimum wage and saving to start your own indie record shop. You finally get enough to open it and, though sales are slow, you have a dedicated customer base and loyal friends to work the store when you can't."
