Satirical monologue about a dystopian future from @willeygoat

The creator performs a continuous, satirical monologue from the perspective of someone living in a dystopian 2067. He rapidly details the absurd realities of daily life, including unaffordable housing owned by corporations like BlackRock, government-mandated jobs filming for 'Beast Games', groceries from 'Lockheed Martin Supermarket', and a Tesla microchip in the head for voting that plays Papa John's ads. He continues by describing a Microsoft-owned national park, city-wide traffic gridlock, extreme climate change, and new Starbucks drinks with absurd names and sugar content, all while being on Ozempic to cope.

Transcript excerpt

The year is 2067. Nobody can afford to move out anymore, so you live with your kids and your kids' kids in your $14,000 a month 800 square foot three bedroom apartment that's owned by BlackRock. You just got back from a long day of working at your government mandated filming of Beast Games on Amazon Prime sponsored by Palantir. That's how you afford your groceries at your local Lockheed Martin supermarket. You're still twenty years away from retiring. Eggs are $32 and the federal minimum wage is 10. There's a Tesla microchip planted in your head that you need to be able to vote, but you can only afford the basic monthly subscription. So you still get Papa John's commercials pumped directly into your eyeball every hour on the hour. Shaq is still the face of the company. They use AI to download his subconscious and repurpose it for commercial yes, so they own the rights to him, technically. You're leaving tonight to go on a camping trip for the one day you get off every week. The national park closest to you was bought out by Microsoft decades ago. So So your ticket to entry is part of a Microsoft suites package. Don't worry. Teams can still reach you out there. You better leave soon
