50 years from now our children's children will (hopefully) read about the inappropriate, irresponsible, and often abusive actions our government allowed corporations to commit upon society.

At this point It's fairly obvious knowledge the government is ripe with corruption and self service (we call it 'red tape' and 'partisan bickering'). And corporations write law.

Social services may save you, may ignore you, or may kill you.

It is impossible to live a basic life without a government ID and an internet connection.

Avoiding government taxes will get you longer in jail than harming a child.

Cars required for moving about unless you want to be robber or ran over and require a contract with a private company to couch for you.

Healthcare isn't obtainable without a private corporation to fund or facilitate the interaction.

A plant is a class 1 drug.

Whistleblowers regularly plea for help which never arrives from the supposed government meant to protect and represent them.
