Things could be better, but no real complaints because even though they are broke, they've got a house and a way to make ends meet, and oh by the way a mountain of credit cards debt that they'll die with.

Any real change would require them to look at the dynamics of what has propelled them into this mess and make drastic changes in their behavior - which will never happen because it's much easier to sit back, bitch about everything yet do nothing to change it... meanwhile the heat continues to get cranked up - making due with less and less, everything from fuel to groceries tripling in price in 2 decades and now need to run up more credit just to get by... Until the pot is boiling and they're cooked.

All manipulated by banks and corporate ownership of the Legislative body

Sadly, You're right coach - America is over and not even a shot was fired in defeat.

No shells ripped the evening sky
No cities burning down
No armies stormed the shores for which we’d die
No dictators were crowned
High off on a quiet night
I never heard a sound
The marauders raided in the dark and brought death to my hometown, boys
Death to my hometown

I know Springsteens home, the property is as big as most towns. When I go to NJ he lets us hunt on his land.
