It feels like the deeper you dig into how things really work, the more depressing it gets. Curious what examples people have.

    our professor used the japanese internment camp case to teach us about the limits of presidential power. indiscriminately shoving people into camps was a thing the president was 100% allowed to do to us citizens. the president, the court, the congress were all like "yup sounds American to us."

    Well my law degree did that for me. The more I learned the more I saw how truly stacked things are against the little guy.

    Hospitals. You end up seeing a lot of serious things and it tends to make you think disease is everywhere.

    It's an easy game not to play. The pool of talent wanting to be in film is incredibly large - when Iived there it felt like half of LA was trying to make it in the entertainment business. Even the LA Police have casting leave written into their contracts in case they pick up a part. So yes, the system is exploitative. But every person there is willingly playing that game using the cards they have available to them. Most of them lose.

    What's worrying is the stuff we don't know about the world that's being kept secret from everyone.
