Lately I’ve been watching the endless media propaganda screaming that the economy is “strong.” But personally, I find it increasingly impossible to cope — and it’s not just me. I look around at my friends, my family, my neighbors, and I see the same silent desperation everywhere. Everyone is struggling to survive in America while AI is taking over entire industries at breakneck speed. Even if the economy magically “rebounded” tomorrow, those jobs are gone forever — robots and intelligent systems are projected to replace 80% to 90% of all jobs in the near future. This isn’t some distant sci-fi threat; it’s happening right now. Even if you’re lucky enough to still have a job, you’re working at least 50 hours a week just to barely stay afloat. Meanwhile, prices are exploding day after day, bills multiply like an unstoppable plague, taxes and medical costs spiral out of control, and hidden fees devour every paycheck. The system feels meticulously designed to keep us on our knees, crushed “at the limit of survival.” Is that really what they want?
