Eerily Prophetic, Volume 2

And this classic rant from “Network” could be recited word for word today as well. I find myself wondering, if someone went on the air and actually did this, whether we’d hear shouting throughout the country:

Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job, the dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in the streets, and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it.
