This is fucking 19th century America shit right here. Are we really not better than this?
You know the country is headed in a bad direction when it's turning into the setting for a Charles Dickens novel.
To be honest - no. Your workers rights and social support systems are extremely lacking. You have allowed corporations and those with wealth to control your representatives for over a century and this is where it got you.
Yep, and we’re going to reap what we have sown. I have no optimism for our future.
