To day as americans we blindly trust everything we’re exposed too, not because we’re dumb but were inadvertantly trained to. We live in a world now where ticks chase people, broccoli literally makes you 💩 yourself to death, and a phone cost $2k. The cost of living since 1982 excluding inflation has rose 247%, cars cost about 60k on average, food cost about $500 per person per month, and the average wage is about 61k per year. This has been driven by fractional banking (0% now), money stagnation through billion dollar companies, and the intentional inflation and planned degration of products. We have old cars running better then new one’s and for a fraction of the price, ai controlling pricing at grocry store, and so much more. Some parting thought i’ll leave you with, what do YOU think about all this? how much are YOU willing to allow? What will YOU do about it?

Thank you, for your time.

    I hear you. It cracks me up when I see the “things are better than they have ever been” because we are not shitting in outhouses. Its like the people fighting internally in nazi germany or being in a concentration camp how its it best time in history. As for your questions. it sux. none. I protest and more a bit of happenstance but im not paying as much in federal taxes as I take at this point but can’t say that is intentional. Honestly I think its kinda a natural consequence of me not jelling with this situation. I really can’t function in a society that 100% runs on bulltrump. I mean there is always some but there has to be little enough for me to find some niche corner that runs on reason to find work. There are far more folks like me currently than jobs that meet the requirement.
