Picture this: your alarm goes off on a weekday. You grumble, rise, shower, have a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. You dress, put your finishing touches on, and head out the door. The commute begins.

But then you realize: you have no headphones. There will be no podcast this morning. No low-fi beats to chill to. No morning pump-up jams. Your forty minute commute suddenly seems interminable. Is the train running slower today? It certainly seems like it. And the people look uglier, more unhappy. Colors drain out of the blouses, button-ups, and backpacks of your fellow riders. All that was once good about the morning (your cup of coffee, a new day, endless possibilities) has disappeared from the world.

Some might call this a First World Problem, but we’re not some, we’re the New York Post Shopping Section. We’d more accurately cal this a Waking American Nightmare. Or: As Convincing an Argument Against Capitalism as Any.
