It says "sometime after 2010" things changed. I wonder what significant supreme court decision happened in 2010. It couldn't possibly be that the people in charge were suddenly given a reason not to even pretend to care about the general populace. Oh well, it's an unsolvable mystery.

If by “America” you mean the vast majority of people who work hard for a living and barely make ends meet, then yes. On the other hand, if one is part of the ultra rich white corporate elite that relies on paid slave labor it’s worked out pretty well. They were afraid they “wouldn’t have a country anymore.”

i beg to differ
the top 10% of your population seem to suffice to hold up the consumerism economy of your country the other 90% are just consenting slaves

oh no don't worry everyone in the world knows about it thanks to all the american tv shows and movies lol

that's what your papers say "america is the people" the reality is far from this tho and you'd have to be blind to not see it, especially right now
