(111,587 posts)The tipping point has occurred, although you'd never know it from corporate news. People are sick of being worked like galley slaves for diminishing rewards. People are sick of all the bureaucratic roadblocks being thrown up all over the place. People are sick of corporate tyranny at work and governmental tyranny in the two tiered "justice" system. People are sick of the families worse off than they are living in their cars at the malls and in the neighborhoods. People are sick of martinets and their "no tolerance" policies in many areas of life.
People are sick of politicians who work two days a week and complain about the pay which is often five times what most folks make, while listening to corporate lobbyists and taking bribes and never considering how things are affecting the people back home.
People are sick of doing the right things and still ending up crushed by debt with no hope for the future.
The rage is just under the surface. The last time I felt it was in the late 50s in the Jim Crow south.
When it does happen, no one in power will see it coming. But it's coming. I can feel it.
I just hope it's a peaceful one.
