This system is strained to its limits, no longer finding a way to adapt around the expanding frontlines of modern culture. Education establishments are watching as kids dissipate from their eternal institutions in search of elsewhere. Wherever they turn, a life of control is only a gamble away. That insinuation of a reality beyond the discipline of epitomized capitalist structures that can no longer gracefully hide their ploys for monetary gain is enough. Enough to drive them away from the pattern promised to the generations before and from the shamed vanguards too far disconnected from them.

According to data published by AP News, around 230,000 kids previously enrolled in public schools have disappeared from any form of formal education since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, including homeschooling. This epitomizes the failures of all the structures maintaining the enshrined promise of the American dream. A dream born within a fascination of the sanctified family structure whose commencing authority has forgotten to support in the commitment to forever fulfilling a promise to their ego by amassing untold wealth. Those leaders no longer take into account a responsibility to care for the scaffolding that supports them at those heights. Their businesses only exist by the pure desperation of those below them to survive within an environment they have no regulation of.

Be mindful the next time you walk through a national brand’s location, watch for the disregard and you’ll see it. Employees left to fumble with unsupported, badly designed technology to sell the newest generation of entertainment technology to customers caught in the same system, equipment that’s left in disrepair or cheaply fixed in favor of increased profit margins, managers unable or unwilling to support those working for them. This exceeding disengagement from aspects regarding the humanity of those accomplishing these efforts has led to them not being able to retain any of the freedom that would otherwise be manageable from their compensation.

So the question is this, what happens when that scaffolding is no longer there, does that consolidation of currency hold the same power? The drive of desperation is close to being not enough as companies and institutions grow evermore disconnected from the humanity of the consumer that supports them. The dream is dying because freedom is no longer provided alongside the expectation of hard work, their humanity can’t belong to what has become of American capitalism.
