An industrial press flattening a beige smiley into scrap. REJECT. Counterfeit kills — so we crush it, on the shop floor, in stencil and sparks. Stick it: on the laptop, the amp, the water bottle, the stop sign that had it coming. Woven from signal, mostly. Some cotton. —spz
That is the whole sum. $2.81 for the item, $4.49 to ship it, and nothing left over — the shop is wired so a sale can never bill the studio and can never pay it either. The book spends twenty-four doors on the line between a signal and its merch, and the only honest way to sell a shirt off the back of that argument is to show you the arithmetic and take none of it.
