boring corporatists

Nothing boring about a 110 heat index or a river so slick with filth that the smell alone is hazardous to your health. Nevermind the sky-high electricity bills created by our energy-hungry AI industry or the enormous landfills choked with plastic waste or the privatized schools that serve up a McEducation for an exorbitant price.

There's this baseline claim that Biden will keep the state of the country the same. But we're not a fly trapped in amber, here. We've got infrastructure that's still deteriorating despite the promise of Infrastructure Reinvestment. We've got grocery bills that are still rising despite the Inflation Reduction Act. We've got real estate consolidation in the residential and agricultural sectors that are steadily raising rents. We've got a finance industry that is dead set on forcing everyone onto a highly speculative cryptocurrency system. We've got war profiteers racking it in overseas while defense contractors at home sink billions into a militarized southern border.

This is under Biden. Yeah, sure, blah blah Trump worse. But our best case scenario still looking incredibly bleak.
