On this episode of The Outline World Dispatch: Stay woke, because self-storage companies would probably prefer you sleep on them.

Every Monday through Thursday, The Outline World Dispatch brings you stories about Power, Culture, and the Future. We guarantee you’ll feel smarter and more hydrated. Hosted by yours truly.
