This is why millennials will never grow up

61. Thanx

--that's how I feel fairly often. Like a gleaner. I seriously resent it, because it is robbing us of a sense of community, diminishing our quality of life, pitting us against each other over things like health plans and access to quality goods and services, keeping us preoccupied in the mundane and consumerist, reinforcing our sense that life is not on our terms, but on someone else's.

Deep down we know that we are owned (as in pwned) and we know for a fact that it is by design. We know that choices have been made in executive offices and boardrooms. Nobody likes to feel like a victim, so we continue to accept our lot. So we chafe at it, but what to do about it?

Glad to know that phrase resonates with others. Sometimes I get accused of being too cynical in putting things so bluntly but I can tell by the look on people's faces that I speak truth. These days if I am accused of exaggerating, I think, "touched a nerve..."

Thx for the soapbox opportunity
