Everyone Is Paying Attention

Dear Editor,
    We are coerced into focusing on celebrities while the world as we know it dismantles. There is a growing rift between the ultrarich elitists and the rest of us. And it’s not just happening in Austin. We are being priced out of our hometowns and out of existence. Many of us will begin to endure severe lifestyle changes as we continue to suffer financial oppression through credit reporting, surveillance, corporate monopolies, an unregulated credit-card industry, commodity profiteers, slave labor, and big-business-run government. The superrich are in charge. We are provided a GQ posed, lukewarm, celebrity-endorsed, demographic-research-driven presidential candidate we are supposed to vote for simply because he is the only option next to the horrible alternative. Clearly, this leaves many without representation. This nonsense is spoon-fed nonstop to the mass population by the corporate-/government-owned media. It’s designed so no one notices when their hometown is snatched up by pseudo capitalism. Taking away our rights, our televisions, our Internet, our electricity, our ability to drive, and live modestly only provides us with continued awareness. And everyone is paying attention.
