This time across the continent from New Jersey to Oregon. Eugene, the town where we now live, despite pretending to look different, in my opinion, is pretty much the same as anywhere else in America. Perhaps, just on a smaller scale. So, after six years of experience, I can say today that the real United States of America exceeded all my bad expectations. Reality here is much worse than I expected and than Soviet propaganda was describing.
Money is absolutely the bottom line for everything.
In America, the rich are truly rich and the poor are hopelessly poor. In my opinion, the United States today has the most advanced system of private tyranny. Private corporations have enormous power in this country and they take advantage of an apparently legal slave labor, terribly exploiting the working class people. Corporate bosses earn millions while workers struggle to survive without living wages. From my point of view, the majority of jobs here today are still extremely exploitative.
