Billy sets off on his motor trike to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling along the world's most famous highway route 66. Beginning in Chicago, he goes to the top of the Willis Tower, America's tallest building, before visiting the home of Abraham Lincoln in Illinois and meeting the state's champion pie-maker. Going off-route, Billy heads to Amish country, where he takes a horse-drawn buggy ride, and then talks to two women in St Louis whose homes were recently destroyed by a tornado.

Because most folk don't know. That's why. The rest of the world are so distracted by the absolute SHITE rich people are drowning us in, we aren't always able to speak up or help. Also, the things we DO know are wrong, we are far too often made to feel too small and powerless to help or speak up. But, you are right, it has been happening in a few countries, and as AI and more technology comes in, you'll find folk being made so deseperate we'll WISH we were slaves.
