I don't love the term "corporate wage slavery" because it cheapens the experience of American chattel slavery, which was the buying and selling of human beings, their bodies, their offspring, their families. "Modern indentured servitude" seems more apt, because historical indentured servitude used contracts to take away the agency and lives of people under capitalism.

America’s Age of Escalating Risk

We’re facing too many risk clusters at once. Our brains weren’t designed for it. We live in an age of escalating risk. America’s always been a risky place to live; we lack the social safety nets of Europe, the social cohesion of Japan, or the communitarian impulses of Latin America…

"What will it be like in America when the dictator returns" is well-written, Martin Berman-Gorvine.

"What will it be like in America when the dictator returns" is well-written, Martin Berman-Gorvine. And it captures the anxiety that we have -- or should have -- about the prospects of a Trump restoration.
