After the fall of Roe v. Wade, some travel hundreds of miles to get abortions. This is the story of a girl who couldn’t

That and I am convinced that they keep most people just comfortable and distracted enough so that they think they have just a little more than they are willing to lose. You know bread and circuses, its been working for the last few 1000 years. I also have to wonder if the controlled media doesn’t keep people afraid and angry at their neighbor so that we don’t all band together and do something about it.
Absolutely.
Then there are the overt threats for those of us that do see the wood for the trees.
Our homelessness problem is quite solvable, and not even that expensive to solve. It never will be because those human beings are intentionally used as props, with police visibly harassing them, all to threaten/scare the shit out of people like us.
“You see us? Ok peasant, feel free to fight back or refuse to participate. If you won’t be a good little capital battery, we’ll make you a rigged capitalism scarecrow on a sidewalk in a cardboard box to keep the others in line through fear. Either way, we’ll exploit some value out of you.”

Ha, not just that shit. They have made it illegal to even help the homeless half the time. I got yelled at by a cop because I was giving a bunch of people in a homeless camp some food that I had dumpster dived (dove?). They want to make it so we can’t even help people when we have the ability to.
That’s another part of the problem too if you think about it. There are so many problems it feels impossible to address them all. Homelessness, Health care, the criminal “justice” system, income inequality, racism and all that other shit. We, myself included, try to address the individual problem and forget that its all the same problem.
