Even people who’ve been doing relatively well have had their costs jacked up even more as we move from income taxes to tariffs. Wages in the bottom have remained stagnant. First time home ownership’s average age is 40. They’ve/We’ve all drank the materialist capitalist kool-aid and it’s hard to take back what control we do have.
It was refreshing visiting fast food places abroad where they seemed very happy to sell me the food. However, that was a culture that already valued conformity and having an agreeable public front at all times.
Nonetheless, surveillance culture is absurd. If they want people to seem happy to be there, they should make the people who are there as happy as they can.
