The American Nightmare
Welcome to the Consumer Machine
Independence can be yours, for a hefty price. Promises that lead to false grandeur, carefully placed in every direction, meant to entice.
Streets paved with debt, hope is sold on every corner. Distractions are used to turn truth into a lie,
You too can have a piece of this rotten pie.
You too can take your place in the Consumer Machine, working thanklessly till the day you die.
That and more awaits you in the land of the despair.
No longer a dream, just The American Nightmare.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.
