I think that both apply right? The populace is too exhausted from working, can barely afford to eat - but they just barely can. But what we have now is incredibly cheap widespread entertainment that we can passively absorb until the next day when we are forced to get up and do it all again just to survive.

We have bread, and we have circuses, but absolutely no more. Plus our circus keeps us fixated on blaming the others.
