There once was a gal named Nadine,
Who lost her job to a machine.
She's got three degrees,
But serves fries at McD's.
R.I.P. the American dream.

The American dream was always a lie though. We also should have reached post scarcity a hundred years ago.
My exam is going on and everytime I open any app I'm getting such content to see. 😂 Btw really nice poem 😍

Should be on a poster, t-shirt, manifesto cover, etc.
