Why are US consumers so angry? It's not just high prices

[Midnight Writer]

6. Nothing works the way it is supposed to anymore. Nothing.

Not our government, not our healthcare, not our consumer goods, not our churches.

Everything has been bought up, stripped of useful parts, and sold back to us: inferior products at a much higher price.

Customer service is dead. Responsible corporations are scarcer than hen's teeth. Moral leaders are immoral. Scoundrels are seeking government positions so they can loot and bully instead of serving. Terrible people are getting ahead while good people are getting pissed on. Propaganda and outright lies are the rules rather than the exception. Folks seem to be getting ruder, cruder, and more ignorant. Thousands of people at a time are losing their jobs and their health insurance and finding out about it in an e-mail.

The middle class is being murdered. The American Dream of working hard and achieving financial security is dead. Home ownership, farm ownership, small business ownership is out of range of average folks and getting worse as oligarchs buy all the property and all the laws. Corruption and greed and hate are now being sold to us and labeled as religion. Expertise and education and experience are now considered "bad".

All these things are trending the wrong way, at a faster and faster pace. We will have a bunch or trillionaires within a couple of years. If you think billionaires are eating this country, wait until the Age of the Trillionaires.

I am almost thankful that my time on Earth is about to expire. I don't want to see the rest of this movie.
