Too bad everyone needs to be constantly distracted.

If everyone wasn't constantly distracted, they might notice what's going on. Like the lack of quality/single-payer healthcare in America. Then people might decide to demand better laws, so that the Zuckers of the world aren't spying on our every move like creepy corporate weirdos, checking out our data from every angle.

But it's way easier to just go back on social media than to do the hard stuff.
