They'll keep getting worse, so long as we never raze Wall Street to the ground as we should.
Don't worry though, this country could legalize and mandate productivity shock collars on everyone with less than a million in net worth, and we wouldn't do shit. We're every bit as complacent, flaccid, feckless, cowardly, and subservient as our owners believe us to be. Their propaganda infecting everything from education to media for decades has seen to that. We trust the invisible hand of the free market round here, boy I tell you what.
We don't want to disturb the quarterly earnings of our glorious job creators or our beloved economy🌈, after all. They'll start pissing prosperity on us any day now! ZAP so this is freedom...
