The closing lines of Woody Guthrie's song 1913 Massacre, a song about a union busting attempt that killed 73 striking miners, are "see what your greed for money has done". This lyric is a perfect definition of the phrase late stage capitalism, and this program giving 4 illustrations of it in action. The stock market rewarding people for the failures (and deaths) of human beings, spambots, automated phone trees, and the inhumane criminal justice system and prison labor are all examined in this program which might, at times, make you laugh, but should probably make you cry.
