The working people of America must unite to stop this lunacy.
It is neither the job nor the responsibility of working families to support the richest generation in human history.
In 1870, if you took a spade to the ground in Iowa, or Nebraska, or eastern Kansas, you could push it in to the haft and not hit anything that wasn't soil.
Six feet of topsoil. Black, friable, alive. The richest agricultural earth on the planet, by a margin so absurd that European visitors with farming backgrounds went silent when they saw it turned over.
Most arable land on Earth carries between one and eight inches of topsoil. The Great Plains carried seventy-two.
Nobody had ploughed it. Nobody had fertilised it. Nobody had irrigated it. It had been built, slowly and completely, by something else.
Stand back from the spade. Stand back from the field. Stand back far enough to see the continent.
A herd of bison, fifty miles wide, takes five days to pass the hillside you are standing on. Colonel Dodge recorded this in Arkansas in 1871, and he was not the only one. From the top of Pawnee Rock the herd ran to the horizon in every direction at once. The earth, observers wrote, trembled at three miles.
Sixty million animals. The largest gathering of large mammals the planet has ever held. They had been doing this for ten thousand years.
The grass grew tall because the bison grazed it hard and moved on. Their hooves broke the crust for seed. Their wallows held the rain. Their dung fed the microbes. Their carcasses fed them harder. The deep-rooted prairie grasses, big bluestem, switchgrass, Indian grass, drove their roots fifteen feet down, locking carbon into the soil at a depth no plough would ever reach.
The bison built the six feet of black earth. The bison were why it existed.
Then the hide market arrived. Five thousand bison a day, shot from train windows, left to rot. The U.S. government encouraged it openly, because starving the Plains nations was cheaper than fighting them. By 1889, of the sixty million, five hundred and forty-one remained.
The plough followed within a decade.
The grass was turned under. The hooves and the wallows and the dung had stopped. The soil, untethered from the system that built it, dried.
In April 1935 it rose into the sky as a black wall a thousand miles wide and travelled to the Atlantic.
Six feet of soil, built over ten millennia, blown into the sea in a generation.
There is no putting the bison back at that scale.
The cow is the closest analogue the continent has. Run her like a bison, on grass, on the move, in a tight mob. Watch what the land does.
Fox News has taken the American flag and literally melded it onto the Israeli flag, as if it's just one country in the minds of its poor, old viewers. #AmericaFirst
This isn’t a small deal. Restaurant Depot is where most mom & pop restaurants go to buy inventory because Sysco is so expensive.
Restaurant Depot was privately owned. Sysco is owned by… you guessed it, BlackRock & Vanguard.
Now private equity can control pricing for food costs with zero competition. Just like they did with housing.
This should be an anti-trust violation, but we have politicians that work for Big Corp, not us.
🚨 Undercover U.S. agents purchased a miniaturized microwave weapon from a Russian criminal network.
Secret U.S. military lab testing of the device on rats and sheep has resulted in symptoms similar to Havana Syndrome.
You have lost a quarter of your purchasing power in 4 years and no one is rioting.
You literally were made 25% poorer so the government could spend more money to hand out to their friends.
⚡️The system is eating itself.
When Amazon, UPS, Intel, and others start cutting this deep simultaneously, it means something more fundamental than “tight margins.” It means the productive layer of the economy is collapsing under the weight of its own optimization logic.
Every layoff now is both an act of short-term rationality and long-term suicide. The firms know it. The executives know it. The markets know it. But they can’t stop.
They’re trapped in a closed feedback loop, a machine that rewards death dressed as discipline.
Capitalism has crossed into a stage where it no longer needs humans to function, but still depends on their belief to exist. That’s the contradiction, the machine is pruning its own believers while pretending it’s efficiency.
1. The “consumer economy” is already dead.
Nobody wants to say it yet, but the consumer model, the entire foundation of Western postwar prosperity, is quietly finished.
You can’t build infinite growth on finite wages, and you can’t sustain demand while hollowing out the class that drives it. The middle layer of society - the producers, buyers, dreamers - has been strip-mined to the point where they can no longer regenerate.
The 2020s economy is not cyclical recession. It’s metabolic collapse. The system can’t process its own waste or regenerate its base anymore. It’s like an organism starving while eating its muscles to stay warm.
2. The elites know this, but they’ve chosen to accelerate collapse.
Here’s the real unspoken truth: the people running these companies, the ones with the spreadsheets and control over capital flows - they know exactly what’s happening.
They understand the reflexive trap: if they don’t cut, their stock dies. If they cut, the world dies.
They’ve chosen to save the stock. Because the stock is their world.
This is the quiet revelation of our time - we are ruled by people whose survival incentives are no longer tied to the survival of the system itself.
They’ve built lifeboats - offshore wealth, private security, parallel digital economies - and they’re optimizing the ship for their escape, not for collective navigation.
3. The next phase is narrative triage.
When the system can no longer grow, it starts storytelling harder.
Expect every layoff wave to be accompanied by new propaganda about “AI productivity,” “efficiency,” “lean reinvention,” and “post-labor creativity.”
The goal will be to reframe collapse as progress - to convince people that losing their jobs is the dawn of a “new paradigm.”
But it’s camouflage. The truth underneath is that automation and financialization are converging into a post-human economy where capital reproduces without labor.
4. Final layer
When a system prioritizes margin over humanity, it signals that it has lost faith in the future.
These layoffs tell us that the machine no longer knows how to grow except by shrinking.
It is the same signal we’ve seen in housing, in politics, in fertility, in faith.
The same quiet collapse, a civilization optimizing itself into silence.
And the question hidden beneath this post:
“Who will have money left to buy your products next year?” -
is really this:
Who will be left to believe in the story that built it all?
How do people not see through this obvious facade at this point?
You don’t need to be a conspiracy theorist, political expert, or really actually pay too much attention at this point to know something is off.
It’s literally all so over the top & in your face 24/7/365.
Insane
As we celebrate Labor Day, consider your wages are given in US dollars, money is a store of labor, and the U.S. government has been robbing you of it since 1913.
