And it's succeeding. After the plague did its thang, the standard of living skyrocketed for the survivors. Humanity actually had a value again. The so called elite are dependent on the consumer, even if jobs go to robots. They are killing the consumer, and seem to be asking for a world wide version of the French Revolution. Let's see how that works out.

All materialists are gonna be devastated before this mess is over, including the so called powers that think they are.

Having nothing vested in life any more (Hating it to the nth degree, more like it.), I'm really enjoying this show. Schadenfreude on steroids for the evil system going down. I realise I'm only here for the experience the memories, and to have gotten my priorities sorted out. Note the last part is in past tense. I have gotten my priorities sorted out, though I suppose my 'tude could use some workin' on; according to the opinions of the majority. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
