You don't have free speech. You lost your right toe in a gun. You can't say what you want you can't even eat at a restaurant. You get banned from everything if you protest against the regime.. you're basically a slave.. and poor people in China are forced to work so miserably that they literally contemplate suicide.. but it's okay because you can choose which brand of 4K television you want and you have 30 different flavors of ice cream!!
It's totally not meant to pacify you while they screw you over!!
I get the sentiment, amigo. But I am sure that the government had more to do with the outsourcing of manufacturing in the US than capitalism did. Meaning, the US government sold out to the globalist and passed laws which made manufacturing in the US impossible. Economy destroyed. People demoralized and stagnant, left dependent on the government gibs. US destroyed. Mission complete. My two cents.
