Unemployment for those making $150K and up is about 3% while the bottom 85% bear 20%.

Our monetary system has become a wholly owned subsidiary of half a dozen boards, working solely to extract as much wealth from America-that-was, making things worse for everybody but themselves every day, and they are admired for it.

Education, health care, Civil Rights, equality, the list is long, all are disintegrating before us, and too many cling to the desperate hope that "it will all work out" because a charlatan tells them it will.

I see us becoming more and more like one of the disasters we created in South America, small heavily armed enclaves where the 1% hide from the people. Just raise the walls and put a couple of machine-gun emplacements in front of your typical "gated community", and there's the future your kids get to inherit.
