Panem Et Circenses

Give me your huddled masses yearning for binge-streaming, half-hour delivery, meaningful livelihoods, and gluten-free everything. Give me your day drinkers, toad smokers, wine connoisseurs, and coffee-shop baristas. Give me your sports junkies, geeks, gamers, influencers, and festival freaks. Give me your bikers, hikers, wall climbers, downward doggers, and zip-line riders. Give me spectators and fun seekers, fans and foodies, ravers and revelers.

Give me all these, and more, and I will give you masses huddling intently over bread and circuses, unable to think for themselves, unwilling to do for themselves.

Keeping the plebes diverted and distracted.
