I thought there'd be a breaking point, and mass civil unrest would force political change, but I no longer believe in society.

Do you remember when the stock market soared, hitting records highs during the first year of lockdown? Economic activity was dead, yet the stock market magically rose, and the rich doubled their wealth within the first two years of the pandemic.

Somehow, millions of Americans didn't notice the blatant heist and still believe the stock market reflects the economy. People aren't that dumb - they just prefer to be that dumb.
