Barbara will now be unemployed until she secures a job elsewhere, and with almost her entire earnings at Wal-‐Mart invested into her barely livable hotel room, she really has no extra money to get her by with living essentials until she is employed again.

Another thing we find out is that there is no room for shyness because ‘you’re spending two weeks with two dozen strangers’, part of this is reflected with the boat and how everything is compact like ‘the tightest packing system’.

With 35% of the nation’s meth domestically produced in thousands of mom and pop labs usually in private dwellings, it is easy to understand that some people living in or buying a home may not know that meth may have been manufactured there.
