Are Things Reaching a Boiling Point?

Is it just me, or is the proverbial shit about to hit the fan? Is anybody else getting that feeling, kind of like when you know a bad storm is coming?

Is it just me, or is the proverbial shit about to hit the fan? Is anybody else getting that feeling, kind of like when you know a bad storm is coming?

We have all of these companies making billions of dollars, prices continue to skyrocket, meanwhile the same companies continue to “tighten their belts” and enact hiring freezes, pile more and more work onto fewer people, and refuse to increase wages at all.

It feels like this is coming to a head. This is not going to continue to be sustainable. The bubble is about to burst.

I’m reminded of a quote that I heard in a tv show once: “Society is always two missed meals from complete anarchy. If you miss one meal, you will make plans to do whatever it takes to not miss a second”.

I feel like the more people feel the noose tightening, and the more people feel backed into a corner, talking about the problem is going to quickly turn into action, on a possibly global scale.

Anybody else agree? Disagree? How do you feel about it? I feel a certain degree of dread thinking about either outcome.

DISCLAIMER

I am NOT in any way shape or form advocating or encouraging violence of any kind. I mainly just want to see if anybody else feels this “oh shit it’s about to blow” feeling I have.
