How Corporate Greed Is Hollowing Out America’s Middle Class
The middle class is not shrinking — it’s being hollowed out. Piece by piece, paycheck by paycheck, hope by hope. And while the pundits shrug and call it “market forces,” the truth is simple: extraction is the business model. Housing has become a casino. Healthcare a toll booth. Groceries a slow bleed. And ordinary people — the backbone of this country — are being drained to feed record profits. Families aren’t struggling because they failed. They’re struggling because the system was redesigned to take more and give less. We’re not crazy. We’re not imagining it. We’re living it. And we’re done being quiet about it. We’re naming the problem. We’re calling it what it is. And we’re choosing connection, truth, and community over the cold, hollow logic of greed. This is not a collapse. It’s a reckoning. And it starts with us refusing to look away.
