It's pretty rough out there right now if you're not a techie, something that's easy to forget. The people responsible for this are the political and lobbying business class who have driven a larger share of the nation's wealth towards that same lobbying business class in a feedback loop that seems to have no end to its rapaciousness.
So you've got a bunch of people who work service or working-class jobs feeling the squeeze even more than the middle-class which is rapidly disappearing. We are the 'available' symbols of their real targets. Maybe it's time to pick sides, or encourage 'both' sides to work something else out. Otherwise it will be plenty of techie cannon-fodder for the mobs while the private helicopters make like Saigon.
There is so much lifestyle media shoving wealth and opulence in everyone's face 24/7. It's one thing when it seems like maybe you might access that at some point in your life, and another where it seems to be there to taunt you.
