70 Posts That Prove The USA Has Reached Disturbing Levels Of Dystopia
America, land of the free and home of the broke. It's easy for non-Americans to sit back and point fingers, because at least then we aren't crying about our own dire situations (except if you're Scandinavian, in which case, please just let us have this one). But when Americans themselves start joining the conversation, that's when you know the situation has moved beyond commentary and into something that probably calls for therapy.
The r/workreform subreddit understands that the way to spread the word of the weary is through sometimes funny and mostly frightening observations in image form. It is the language of the people, and it is both healing and heartbreaking in one square of revealing pixels.
Reflections made in under 140 characters, shocking charts that put things into perspective, and dystopian photos that speak louder than words ever could. These are the realities of corporate America, and they aren't pretty.

Don't Let The Billionaires Define Success. We Can Create Our Own Definition Of The American Dream
Nicole Weymann 1 month ago
"Nah, sorry, I really don't give an Eff about others. I wanna be a millionaire!" American (well: US, really) type individualism, where one person's "I wanna have!" carries all the weight of a stack of elephants, standing on a cream tart of "...but hundreds of people need housing/meds/therapy/food!"

They’re Not Even Paying Us More. This Inflation Is Unnatural
Tamra 1 month ago
Every f*cking Democrat needs to be on board with this, and so much more of what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez promote. These are the positive, progressive changes that this country needs. The ratchet effect has been pushed too far right for too d**n long, and now look at where we are: unimaginable record debt, people working full time and living out of their cars, people dying for lack of healthcare, people going into nearly unpayable debt to get higher education...I mean the list is near endless.

I said this 20 years ago when globalisation was a buzzword: It sounds nice, with growing connections around the globe steadily leading to an equalisation of living conditions for all people, but what it really does is exploiting people in poverty.

It's exactly the same as people who say "if you don't like your country, just leave!" As if that were an option for everyone and as if we wouldn't want to make our country better. I'm a Kiwi and our country is pretty good, but it can be much better. Wanting that doesn't make me unpatriotic, not that I'm particularly concerned about being seen as patriotic anyway.

Money Can Buy Happiness And I'm Sick Of People Pretending That It Doesn't
Sue User 1 month ago
I detest the phrase " live within your means". The circle of " within your means" is now so small that you can't really live. Years ago, I was going over finances with gas company in hopes of getting help. Tell her income, tell her expenses. She goes " wait, your expenses are higher than your income". My reply" that's why we are having this conversation.

Murica is kind of pathetic. The worst part is that the far right is taking cues from them and wants to do the same thing in every civilized country. It’s also a problem that, because they dominate social media, they’re making people want to be like them.I know you're not all the same. But I hate you because you didn't stop it, and now it's a virus spreading all over the planet.
