    We live in a true dystopia. The headlines are so insane as to prompt laughter and tears. I especially like this one from the very next post in my feed:

    Suspect in Austin Target shooting that killed 3 people was found naked and holding Bible

    What will people who study us 1000 years from now think? The sane ones advanced technology in remarkable ways, yet they allowed the most insane among them to lead their society. They used taxes to help fund miraculous pharmaceutical research, but then allowed private companies to reap all the profits, and to price the drugs beyond what the citizens could afford. They were fully aware of their downfall yet somehow powerless to stop it.
