Die.

Whenever I hear someone say "what are people supposed to do?", that is what I remind myself is the default.

When the rich have taken everything that they want, that is all that is leftover for literally everyone else.

A magic utopia is not the default. That took effort to build, and now the ultra-wealthy are putting in effort to tear it down, so it is ludicrous to think that without effort that things will magically go back to the way they were. That is neither how inertia nor entropy work.

Sorry this is upsetting, but it is the Truth. When Trump wins, it will get even worse, not better. Maybe we should do something about it.
