Somewhere along the way, being wrong about facts was reclassified as "having an opinion," and knowing facts was stigmatized as "having bias." It's a big part of why we're in hell now.

Maybe you can’t pay the bills. Maybe your life is in shambles due to addiction. Maybe your home isn’t safe. Maybe you have chronic health issues. Maybe your losses outweigh your gains. One thing is for certain. If you don’t vote out republicans in November your current problems will be dwarfed.

A population kept in survival mode is less likely to organize, protest, or revolt. That's why I believe this economic hardship isn't accidental. The number of people I've heard say, "I can't protest, I'll lose my job and my healthcare" This is 100% by design.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished. Most people would still go to work. Food would still be grown. Roads would still be built. Hospitals would still operate. Now imagine every worker vanished. That's the difference between wealth and value.

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." -Gaius Helen Mohiam From the novel Dune, by Frank Herbert, 1965
