Ordinary people now spend their lives promoting investments they barely understand, products that do not work, and political claims they have never examined. Many earn nothing. They are unpaid distributors for someone farther up the pyramid. The consumer, salesman, and product have collapsed into the same exhausted person.

Until everyone looks at their phone/app/online usage and questions how they are being 'used' it will still continue to drag along like a zombie. I regullay stop and ask whose tail i am wagging.
