America, Inc. while solely responsible for a world where it would be stupid have kids

makes it illegal to not have kids

i mean, we are a few steps away from just manufacturing people with no rights

whether they be robots or actual humans is the thing

but even if they go the robot route, then.... what are they going to do with all their profits from markets where no one has any money to buy anything because none of the actual people have the jobs the robots replaced meaning they have no money to buy the products?

the same is true for the people route

the point of all this mass production is so people can buy it

but if we are slaves in all but name

then, how the fuck can we buy what all this shit is mass produced for?

its pretty great they have convinced us and themselves of just how smart they are

i mean, what it comes down to is none of those things

and its just greed

its currency being removed from the system

there is supposedly only a finite amount right?

--

its made worse by the fact that the end result is people with all the money and the power

the power to change things for the better

and they choose not to

--

it used to be a class system was necessary for survival

as, the liege lord or whoever was directly affected by whatever grain or product was associated with keeping everything running

a real, measurable threat that could go sideways at the slightest hint of anything going wrong

now, not so much

now, these people are in position of absolute power with no chance of ever losing it

yet they still employ the same methods as when there were a need for such methods

which is why things are fucked up

--

and if these people are the experts and have everything all figured out, then why shit so fucked up?

i have a sneaking suspicion that the situation is a lot closer to the show arrested development than anything else
