When old Soviet Union jokes are applicable to the US, you know something has gone terribly wrong.

@nazgul Citizen stops by the same Moscow newsstand every day, glancing at the newspapers, never buying. Eventually the news agent says, what are you looking for?”

The citizen replies, “Obituaries.”

News agent says, “Obituaries are at the back.”

Citizens replies, “Not the ones I’m looking for.”

@rotorglow @nazgul Really feeling this one, lately.
