From my understanding of it, the American Dream's going just fine! The only problem is most people misunderstood that it was about all of them.

Sharing is hard.. mmmkay?

(but for real, I do my part. I just wish that everyone didn't want so damned much. I have little and would give it all, and have. And do. Often.)

Oh, I'm not putting this on any individual citizen, I'm genuinely sorry if it came out that way!

Sharing is virtuous, and everyone should most certainly try to share more (within their means, of course!), but the game was rigged long before those who are alive now ever existed. Unfortunately, as long as the system itself doesn't change, individual action can only achieve so much in terms of offering fair conditions and opportunities for everyone...

You are correct.

Many sticks; strong together.

Single stick is weak.

(Sorry to mash up ancient quotes with a quote from the Planet of The Apes remake & bastardize it, but for modern purposes this will suffice.)

Again, no such issue, I'd actually have a bit more respect for LLMs were they this eloquent and pleasant!:)) Glad to have generated a crumb of something good!:D
