I don't know if quarantine was a good thing or a bad thing. I think it was good in that it made me start examining my life my existence but it was bad in that I was pretty much cut off from everyone in a way. It's very hard to go over a year and not physically touch another human. But it's also very hard to start examining society society's expectations and things like that. I'm hoping that people have learned more about themselves during this time whether they realize it consciously or not. Unfortunately sometimes it's very hard to deal with some of the things that you realize about yourself or that you realize about the society we live in. I know that I have come to believe that our current society here in the United States seems to be to the point where we are no longer a democracy we're in an oligarchy. Our government seems to be run by corporations and or millionaires and billionaires. It's kind of disgusting because almost everyone I know is a wage slave. So many people live paycheck to paycheck it's actually frightening when you realize the scope of it. I honestly don't see this getting any better anytime soon. I know the Democrats want to raise the minimum wage which is good the Republicans do not want to raise the minimum wage from what I understand which is bad. I can't understand how we as a society can call ourselves civilized when you have people out there who are basically slaves to industry. Their jobs don't pay enough for them to survive. Minimum wage is not enough for anyone to survive on. If you are forced to work a menial job just to survive that is slavery no ifs ands or buts.
