WHAT? Who are you?

In the George Lucas movie, THX-1138 (the name of the main character was "THX-1138"), everyone's choices are removed and they all live underground because above ground is "radioactive." Finally THX decides it would be better to die above ground than suffer forever underground where he wasn't allowed to love. He wasn't free.

He makes his way above ground, evading all the guards and police. And when he gets there, it's sunny, everyone above ground is beautiful, and they are waiting for him with open arms and kisses. The excuse, "But it's radioactive out there!" was just there to keep him down.

Another day on the job…

Don't believe me. Stay with a boss that hates you. A job that is keeping you locked on a chain around your neck, tantalizing you with incremental increases in pay and job title.

Stay in a culture that is quietly replacing the entire middle class. This is not anyone's fault. This is the tectonic plates of economics destroying an entire suburban culture that has lasted for almost 100 years.
