Speaking as an American here (28M), I’m not very optimistic of my future here. Unchecked Capitalism continues to see our nation prop up a select lucky few at the detriment of millions. Technology companies (specifically Bay Area ones) have gone basically unregulated for years, and I have a strong suspicion they’re driving the current divide even further.
When are we going to do something about this? I’m tired of waiting on government.. tired of waiting for fair treatment from employers.. tired of being abused by student loans… tired of not being able to afford a place to live where I work… tired of needing to burn myself out to survive here. The working class of America needs to go on a collective strike. Employers need us just as much as we need them.
If we don’t stand up for ourselves, the divide will get to a point where the working class can no longer survive. People wont be healthy enough to do their jobs and America will just fucking stop. Maybe it’ll take us to hit rock bottom before anything changes (likely because we’re humans), but I’m seriously ready to murder the ultra wealthy and take back what we deserve. How else are we going to solve this problem? They obviously aren’t willing to help us in any way… The ultra wealthy NEED to be threatened with very real consequences. We need to do something before Americans burn out, and our oppressors run off to Mars or wherever the fuck…
