Because much of society sucks, and much of the economy sucks.

But the news will talk about this like "There's a new pharma that might help us out!" instead of addressing the systemic social issues that lead people to feel so abandoned and betrayed. Because that might hurt corporate profits.

The media is the problem, because it has created our broken culture. And the economy is the problem, because people aren't even getting along okay in many cases. But when corporations own both those things, what can a society do other than revolt? It's just a matter of how long is it going to take for the masses to figure out the need for revolt (despite the best efforts of the media and economy to pressure them otherwise) and then actually do it.

When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.

It's possible they didn't take into account population growth. We should be 700% up from 60 or so years ago.

Life is a nightmare now.

You'll be wiretapped if you make a phone call and tracked by license plate readers if you drive.

If you go to a baseball game or Disneyland, you'll need to give your fingerprints, be molested, and be made to carry a microchip.

We're all slaves living in a prison.

Who would want to be born into this world?

Americans are no better than Nazis now.

The world has turned upside down now. All the rules have changed.

Clean-cut, moral Americans who were taught to love peace, hate debt, oppose Communism, be hard-working, be responsible, respect free speech, support religious freedom, defend gun rights, oppose warrantless searches, seizures, and torture must be in a state of shock to watch the USA become Socialist.

Life is meaningless now that everything is illegal, hard work is punished with taxes and regulations, laziness is rewarded with welfare, the USA has become a ghetto overrun with 3rd world immigrants, and the US is an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state.

The collapse of the USA is disgusting and shameful.
