Do a quick search on Moat People... I think this kinda sums it up.
"I think we should call this next generation the Moat People. They don't feel that they can control the bigger forces and trends in this world. Their government is entirely beyond influence. Employers are capricious and irrational. So they want to get a little plot of land, an apartment and a group of like-minded friends, and they want to build a moat around this haven."
I think we switched from "Generation ME" to "Generation Why Bother". At this point I'm not even sure that my President was born in America. I see executives retire days before their banks are taken over because they have billion dollar losses, but the execs leave with multi million dollar packages. Employers don't give a crap about workers at all... layoffs, price hikes, gouging, crime... every day it's worse.
I feel small, like the little fish. I'm sure I have no voice in what happens, anywhere. I see whistle blowers prosecuted while the corrupt bosses (who should be tried, sometimes for MURDER) go unscathed. I see 7 arrests because a picture of a gold medalist hittin' the bong is leaked out while the CEO of a company puts tainted products out to the public causing PEOPLE TO DIE - yet he's free.
I donno if I'm becoming a Moat Person, or building my wall. Either way I suppose it's fundamentally the same thing, I just really like Pink Floyd's music.
