And yet, no one is rioting. Everyone is simply allowing this robbery to happen unchallenged.

I remember when they did the math and average pay today is lower than it was in the Great Depression. I see videos on YouTube about surviving on 1 dollar a day and it has millions of views. People are eating nettle soup the stuff people starved on in the English created famines in Ireland

It's cool though could be worse. Still slightly better than Slave or Serf

I'm too tired, sick and miserable to riot tbh.

If I were younger I would try.

Can't miss work, that's my healthcare.

Good thing we're back in the office.
