This actually is becoming a major issue in my life with motivation. The direction of the country and the world. The way we function with corporations and monopoly. I feel like before when they busted monopolies it was because a few corps were taking over but now I feel like monopoly is the standard business goal and all companies are striving for it. Its not just me not getting a large enough slice of my efforts but about society not getting enough of a slice of my efforts. I want to live in a modern society and not just technology, I want social safety nets so that I can go out and know all my fellow citizens will only be able to do so poorly. That there is a floor and they can get healthcare and nutrition and education and have shelter.
