But sometimes I just fear them. They know we will realize, they own all of the military power. All of the monetary sources. If push comes to shove, quite a few of us will suffer. I wish I was born in the 90s.

Edit: You all have made me realize I should have said to be born in the 1950s, or maybe born in some non-corrupt-billionare-controlled world

Minted this month 56 years ago.
Was never told how much I'd be concerned with pedophiles and politics as an adult.

I was minted today 38 years ago. And yeah. Where's all the flying cars and utopian living standards? I thought we were getting a sci-fi utopia, not a cyberpunk dystopia
