We wear money AR glasses that show us the price of everything as a slice of the pie, and our own worth is determined by them. In this AR/VR Zuck and Gates appear as towering giants. In this world, as long you obey the house rules, they'll treat you ok. You can go around the marketplace, and buy and sell. The people without money don't show up in this VR world. You can have all kinds of material treats with your money slice. Lots of incentive to keep the glasses on.

YES! In fact, so many problems stem from the myth of the lone genius changing the world, the guy who deserves to eat 10,000 more meals each day, have more bedrooms than he can sleep in at a time, than the thousands of workers who actually sweated to bring the vision to life.

The world is a pie, and this guy has a slice millions of times bigger than other workers. His workers often ignore the people on the sidewalk, whose share of the global pie is negative, and can't even be shown on the wealth allocation pie-chart of the globe.
Those are the marginalized people, the invisible, the voiceless. No political party cares about them. They are too broken to cross the hurdles it takes to vote. They are useless to the politicians, and their fans.

Don't you dare to take the glasses off, though. Or the metacops will punch down on you, throw you in jail. Because you see, IRL, Zuck is just a runt, and Gates is another schlumpy nerd. These tech bros only have power over you, when you wear the AR/VR money glasses. They won't let you tell others to take off the glasses either. That would be very bad for their net worth, their self worth. They hire security, hide in bunkers, because they can't look people in the eye. #FuckZuck

@farah This used to be what human interest stories were for in news coverage, somewhat, back before they were formulated for outright entertainment and captivation value.
Shout out to all the moms and dads who made grilled cheese for their fam because they are so damn tired about making decisions at the end of the day
@WastelandWandrr Sorry omitted the sandwich part
@farah No, no, I'm just wondering if that's what I will be having for lunch! 
@farah Grilled cheese is the default answer for almost every question.
@farah grilled cheese is good stuff...
@farah And the kids who say, "why can't we eat like this every night." 😏🙄
"What about the ones who made grilled cheese for their fam because FUCK YEAH GRILLED CHEESE"
@farah
I made scrambled eggs & toast. It’s substance. Some days that’s the best I can do. Grilled cheese sounds lovely!
Shout out to the kids who are doing their boring homework ignoring all the 1000x stimulations surrounding them
Shout out to the average grumpy guy who waves to the noisy gaggle of kids every morning on their way to school
Shout out to that weird kid who’s explaining Mario Kart racing system to his favorite Kirby stuffed toy
(Ok fine, this was biased but it was so cute!!)
