4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

same as everywhere else on the planet
warm bodies are needed to keep things moving such as factories, food production, you name it
militarized police force helps keep the lower dregs corralled and helps keep the capitalists' property safe by enforcing rules set down by the capitalists elite and wrote into law by politicians
if this was upset by climate change laws being put in place, police swapped for peace officers, wages were fair, good healthcare, worker's rights, etcetera this system would break and capitalists' would stop writing checks to the politicians writing the laws and keeping the status quo the militarized police force uses and more resources would get distributed across the board and the warm bodies would not be putting in so much effort and existence to a toxic, circular system
example in literature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wandering_Earth https://www.tor.com/2021/11/11/book-reviews-cixin-liu-the-wandering-earth/ "The character of the Last Capitalist, an obvious stand-in for real billionaires in the age of Amazon, adds bleak humor to a very real speculative nightmare where the aforementioned capitalist owns the entire planet and leaves the rest of us to rot in tiny pods. “We had to swallow pill-sized air meters before we went out, which measured exactly how much air we breathed,” a visiting alien tells the protagonist, Smoothbore. “Every time we inhaled, a fee was deducted from our bank account. This was a luxury for most of the poor…we never dared to exert ourselves while outdoors. We mostly just sat and controlled our breathing. Before we returned home, we had to carefully scrape the soles of our shoes, because the soil outside was not ours to keep.”
example in film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop Since its release, RoboCop has been critically reevaluated and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s, and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film has been lauded for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the Reaganomics policies of its era.
example in recent history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_States_railroad_labor_dispute Writing for Jacobin, Barry Eidlin, associate professor of sociology at McGill University, said the message sent to the rail workers by the president and Congress was "shut up and get back to work." this was a very tame example in our personal opinion
