I don’t care about the quality of life of the wealthy in the US. In fact, I hope it gets much, much, much worse and I hope many cease having a life with a quality to measure.

The US middle class is also dogshit to the point where it almst just doesn’t exist. It has no power and is constantly losing money, often propped up just by credit-card debt. They watch their buying power decrease every year and their job secuirty tank just like everyone else. Many have to live far away from nicer areas in order to afford the things that make them look like they’re middle class and the also means that they’re all forced to drive cars. They still get screwed by the US “healthcare” system and many will only tell others that they’re happy with things because they’re ignorant, voluntarily or otherwise, of anything better.

The only people in the US who have any real power can whether any significant storm are the very people who deserve to be shot in the street, not those who actually work.

Let's give the ultra rich a quality of afterlife. And let's make it horrible. Throw them in the trash compactor or something
