It's all becoming a company town ...
I remember reading a joke a few years ago - it may have been in The Onion but I could not find it when I searched a little while ago - that with the most recent corporate merger US corporations are now down to six ... it feels true.
It is like the US has become one giant company town, with livelihoods and families totally dependent upon the whims of corporate executives. Roger & Me was prophetic.
It is not quite like the old manorial system, but it does feel like our "classless" system is becoming ever more stratified. It is like there is a corporate, or business class, and worker classes ... where there is no real middle class any more per se ... there seems to be no or little mobility despite what people want to believe.
It is like those in the corporate class actually want less higher education, as education equals more progressive very often ...
More and more Americans have negative net worth. Fewer and fewer will have resources, rest will owe the company .... like the song says about owing to the company store ....
