    Im not saying that. Its the wealth inequality that stunts society. People don’t have the resources to make decisions based on whats best and have to deal with what they can afford. Lack of infrastructure and regulators results in more pollution.

      People have still more than many others on the world. Illegal immigrants have less, and they have to pay off their traffickers.

      This mindset is a prison. The people have the power, they are just sure that they don’t have it. A beautiful display of mind control.

        I would argue the trap is in the other way. Your reply reminds me a lot of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6vjaimSK4E . You may think you know how good the average american has it but you may not understand stand the unique challenges of various americans in many different situations. Wealth disparity is the trap and the only way toward freedom is a society were it is not so extreme.

          That is not a way. Who should create the society?

          OP argued that there are no resources left. Well, then that’s the way till the robots make humans unnecessary.

          If people want to get out, they have to do something. Don’t work harder, consume smarter. Not the poorest have to start but those who make two vacations per year. Spend that money wisely and grow from there.

          Thanks for the song.
