The meat grinder is working exactly as they want it to.
All those pesky social programs keep allowing the poors to escape it.

Well, if studies on microplastics are any indication, they DO carry your trash.
Just indirectly.
I once had a granola wrapper blow away in the wind, and I felt so bad I started looking for trash on my way out.
Then I realized I could be doing that every time and I started bringing shopping bags with me on hikes and grabbing any trash I see until the bag is full or I leave.
It's made me realize something.
Even the people who hike several miles into deer paths, the kind you would expect to be the less than casual group and therefore should know better, are fucking disgusting.
Humans are gross and it's nothing new, we know the most about ancient cultures that left a lot of garbage.
Best I can do is an AR-15 with a 3d printed bicycle mount.
Unfortunately that doesn't look as cool as a roman chariot with some spears, IMO.
It's a good thing those torches are still burning after thousands of years, otherwise you would have needed a flashlight!
A judge would sign a search warrant because a cop pinky swears the target is a black ms13 Muslim antifa commiesocialmarxist.

Oh hey, me too, except I would never pay for premium. I just don't use the official front-end.
Skilled truckers
I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.
I've met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.
And then I've also met some that couldn't figure out their 13ft tall trailer can't fit under a 12ft 8 bridge...
For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.
I'm sure they'll have plenty of proper god fearing Christian good old boys just lining up to do their solemn duty.
You know, it's always funny when sci-fi shows have doctors that refer to current year medical practices as "barbaric" or "Savage", but honestly looking back just 50 years? Same feeling.
200 years ago, the local "doctor" will probably tell you to take a swig of the bottle he just dumped on your wound, because he's gotta saw it off. Hopefully they at least washed it since it's last use.
200 years from now? Eh. Doc will wave a light over it, you'll be fine.
I've lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It's been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I'm paranoid about any online interactions.
I wouldn't even know where to start with VPNs.
Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?
I mean... Never by our current civilization.
With climate change ramping up, less and less will be devoted to space and exploration, and more resources focused on maintaining order and keeping people fed and working.
So unless the rest of the world can rally together in the next 50 years, we, our current civilization, will be likely nearly wiped out in the coming centuries. Not totally, I don't think. But modern society will not survive.
Now, I fully believe the rest of the world is completely capable of doing this, the question is can enough people in positions of power put aside petty differences and work for the betterment of humanity. Because clearly my government won't.
The titles is definitely click bait, and if they really believe it they're delusional.
