Once the Miserables found themselves outvoted in the Estates General of 1789 by about 3% of the population (the ones with money), it became very uncomfortable in France for aristocrats.

American's don't have the drive or the energy to care. We willingly lost 40 years ago.

And we'll continue to lose, willingly. Even in an era where our favorite junk food prices are rising, we're being nickel and dimed over subscription services and everything. As long as they aren't coming to rip us away from our comfy beds or couches, we're fine. Oh wait, they've been doing that with escalating prices of rent.

I guess we'll all just go and die then because at least in the afterlife, no corporate or governmental finger can touch death to influence capitalism on.
