I stay up all night

[prototypian]

I can't sleep. Things seem so bleak

I feel like I'm watching the world just erode away the last vestiges of humanity.

My country is home to the world's largest population of billionaires; a few thousand people who own 40% of the wealth in the country. Those immediately beneath them push for productivity in the stock market with companies owned by those billionaires through hiring the fewest people and paying the least. And the amount of wealth that exists now in those billionaires can keep the economy going as consumption without the need for normal consumer spending. The goal is to have no payroll costs but have maximum profit. The cycle just gets worse. Every idea is designed to reduce costs by employees.

If you are emoloyed, expect to spend most of your time defining how you have improved your output with 20 percent gains quarter over quarter and a disappointing year over year decrease in cost of living adjustments and higher healthcare costs.

It's so bleak

I just woke up like 20 minutes ago but it's still dark out. I also live in USA. I tried venting about it here and received some really rude responses. Some ppl on here are part of the problem.

i hate how the world is, esp countries experiencing that. my bf lives in america and im always anxious and in fear what tomorrow will be like for him. i hate the stupid president, i hate the gov, the supreme people, honestly america is so shit i dont even know how people are happy there. i honestly wish someone could do everyone a favour and get rid of these corrupted people for good. i wish there was an age limit to STOP applying for terms, to be FORCED to leave the supreme house positions. i wish these billionaires had a real heart. i wish the people, the real people who struggle, who work hard, who are actually doing something could have semi power to vote these people out of their power tripping position. i wish it was mandatory for anyone who reaches billions to experience what its like to work from the ground up, to not be so lucky. i remember a millionaire trying it and he had to stop because that shit took a hard toll on him and honestly, atleast that dude saw it eye to eye, dont know what hes doing now anyways. i hate how these filthy rich people say they have "experienced" being poor, homeless, struggling to make ends meet and what not when they havent. they are so heartless, cutting them open, their heart wouldve failed because they are so greedy and corrupt.
