A Boring Dystopia

The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Economists agree: You’re not crazy for feeling like the rich get richer, and the poor are doing worse. Welcome to the ‘K-shaped economy’ (fortune.com)

I don't like calling it a "K-shaped" economy because it sounds like "ok-shaped economy" if you talk to people, and the economy is very much not OK.

I'd rather call it a "R-shaped economy", where "R" stands for republicans but also for ruin.

I can think of another R word the economy reminds me of.
