They're not losing their livelihood, They're losing their corrupt livelihood.

We made $1.00 a day just eat and die. We don't have any tv, karaoke, liquor, computer, internet, toy, bike, car, moto, laptop, running water and etc.
Our toilet would be digging dirt spot by spot for our poop around our shack. We worked sunrise till sunset and 7 a days a week to feed our whole family.

WORK, EAT, SLEEP, AND DIE..........
