If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.

I found a different headline on the site:
https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/cost-of-living-income-quality-of-life/?intcid=CNM-00-10abd1h
Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds

The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

I wonder how much longer that article will remain online.. thank God for the Internet Archive. There’s a columnist on the financial times who remarked that the UK was a few islands of wealth amidst an ocean of poverty.

Both the United States and the UK were the first targets/victims of neoliberalism, a conman’s ask that people surrender their sovereignty to the totalitarian rule of wealth.

That’s what privatization is. The rank and file have no say.
