if you work 2 jobs and fit in a bit of gig work just to pay the rent and eat ramen…

you aren’t employed. You are a slave…maybe not to an owner but to the system.

i’ve said before, they don’t want you to OWN anything.
No house (rent)
no car (lease)
no music (subscription)
no software (subscription)
no clothes (cheap crap that disintegrates after 2 or 3 washes)
no healthcare (self explanatory)
no cash (crypto baby!!!)
no education (the only thing that can’t be repossessed)
no ideas (let that AI scrape you clean!)

1984 will be looked at as a utopian dream!
