...the middle class continues to fall apart. The homeless statistics are growing and wages are stagnant while the costs for basics soars.

The media is not reporting the reality. I am really sick and tired of feeling as if we are being bamboozled. Things are not getting better. We are sliding further into economic hell.

I guess the corporate powers that be figure that if they hide the harsh realities, that people will be too ashamed to admit that
They are struggling. Why be one of the lone voices talking about how rough things are when the media is saying that all is swell?

I'm sick of the lies. Pretending that everything is peAchy only mskes our society neurotic and shutout off from one another.
