when freedom is outlawed only outlaws will be free or something.
ok actually the story writes itself here:
Adhu works yelling at robbers all day remotely in India. It is a good enough job, but he does dream of some day emigrating to the U.S, the company he works for has bought into a convenience store chain and he achieves his dream, going to the U.S and working in the convenience store there.
Every now and then a robbery happens, then the people on the cameras come on and yell at the robbers. Some of these people are his old co-workers, he has interesting conversations with them. Some of his friends have also come to the U.S to work but they haven't been heard from for a while.
One day a robber comes into the convenience store, it is Adhu's old friend from work Samil, Adhu tries to talk to him but the voices come on over cameras and yell at Samil. Samil runs out - now a new thing happens, the voices inform Adhu as part of the new company tough on crime initiative he needs to take a revolver hidden beneath the cash register and follow Samil out and shoot him. Adhu is horrified, he refuses. The next day when he shows up for work the voices come over the camera and fire him and yell at him to leave the store.
In America without a job Adhu naturally has a tough time, and is ready to give up hope when the company contacts him with a new offer - he can work as a robber robbing the company convenience stores (and other convenience stores of course) he will get a share of whatever money he steals plus a very nice hourly salary - it is definitely an improvement in his position. It seems the company was so successful with their anti-robbery services they were in danger of going out of business because there were no more robbers left.
Things are going good monetarily but Adhu doesn't like getting yelled when he is robbing the stores, it depresses him. He starts drinking, the voices call him a drunk, drunk Adhu when it is his old friends calling him. One day he robs the store manned by one of his old friends who has emigrated, as he is escaping the former friend follows him outside and shoots him.
> the company he works for has bought into a convenience store chain and he achieves his dream, going to the U.S and working in the convenience store there
Cute, but US immigration law means this person has no chance of immigration through this kind of work and they’re also ineligible for the green card lottery.
yeah it's obviously some sort of near future story in which corporate money has been used to pollute the sanctity of U.S law, enabling a scenario such as this, as unlikely as that may sound.
