I’m in the process of looking for a new phone, and it’s starting to feel like that one video where all the news casters are lined up and side-by-side each each other saying the exact same thing.

My phone company offers three options; iPhone, Samsung, and Google. Realistically, it’s only two, if we’re talking about OS.

The length to which we are going to be provided, the illusion of choice is absolutely insane. Like we’re no longer allowed to buy Chinese phones, for Satan knows what reason this time.

But the same goes for a lot of manufacturers there’s only one or two companies that you can realistically go to. And any company that gets a significant following is simply bought out, merged into the conglomerate, and then we pretend that we’re eating different food when we go to Applebee’s or Wendy’s, when realistically both companies buy it from the same food distributor.

There’s eight or nine sets of decent apartment complex neighborhoods in my town, four sets in four different areas are owned by the same company. You really don’t have a choice when these kind of things happen. A billionaire owns the entire length of a river in Beloit, Wisconsin for businesses, and a great portion of the companies that operate in that town — Losing your job means you have to leave the town for the most part.

There is no more small business, there is no living wage, things don’t feel affordable, and there’s no way you could do life on your own.

And being clear here I have an 800 credit score make $45,000 a year am debt free. Anyone who makes less than me or has more debt, I truly don’t know how they’re getting by. Because I’m struggling. And we’re provided the illusion of options, as if the same manufacturing company isn’t slapping a sticker on every single one of the products we make and pricing it according to the value of the name.

I feel like I’m living in the USSR, It just looks prettier. And that’s not hyperbole my family immigrated from there.

And now we have the US government taking stakes companies, that’s literally the government seizing the means of production, on top of massive manipulation and fraud of what would otherwise be a horrifically failing economy.

Like I don’t know what to do anymore because nothing seems real and consequences don’t seem real anymore. and don’t get me wrong. They really are real and horrific consequences, bordering on cruel and unusual punishment for handing out a flyer. They seem unreal in the same sense that a billionaire is allowed to live while their communities suffer… or struggle in any way… Like if any of this shit was happening underneath the black president, not only would he have been removed, it would have been permanently. Those would be assassins wouldn’t have missed him. What is it— four or five times now?
