Wouldn’t It Be Cool If we learned from HISTORY?

There is a saying: Bread and Circus. You may have heard this before, but think about it.

In Roman times this was a political tactic to give the populace enough food and entertainment so they were hungry, but not starving, and likewise, entertained/distracted from the toil of their lives just long enough so they weren’t worrying about surviving, but not enough leisure where they would begin to consider society as a whole. Bonus is, the status quo can continue on with whatever anti-humanity activities behind the curtain while throwing scraps of meat and spectacles from their cushioned boxes.

Can YOU relate this activity to today? Replace ‘Bread‘ with Opinions, ‘Circus‘ with Social Media, and consider the ‘status quo’ as the 1%ers. Can YOU relate this activity to today?
