    I don’t know what it was that pulled the mask off this farce of a system we have

    Greed

      Sociopathic greed is the root; Covid 19 pulled the mask off when people collectively had a few months to exit the rat race and discover life apart from being constantly ground to dust for some shareholders’ profits.

        Probably this, but it had been bubbling under the surface for a while.

          Of course. American prosperity fell off a cliff around 1980, so the last 40 years or so have just been inertia and grinding the middle class into dust.

          Which is roughly where we are now.

            Not true! The 90s were great! We signed NAFTA and shipped all our manufacturing jobs overseas!
