The Sequester Strikes its First Victims!

Heavens, don't think you're alone in this. The last 30 to 40 years have seen a big increase in the power and wealth of plutocrats everywhere. Look at Britain, Italy, Russia, China. The media tycoons push their story so hard, enough people will buy it, and they use this to set the middle class and the poor against each other, thus keeping them too busy to notice their real enemy.
Australia is going in much the same direction, we're just economically okay because China keeps buying lots of rocks from us.

I'm not sure how this can be "fixed" or indeed how it will develop, but I fear something violent and cathartic will have to happen.
