U.S.—Sick and tired of dealing with all this prosperity, the
nation has decided that it will try socialism for a while,
sources confirmed Friday.

Thousands of people across the nation reported that they were
weary of just constantly creating more and more capital and
lifting millions of people out of poverty. They're so fed up
with the successes of capitalism that they want to try something
else for a few decades and see how it shakes out---something
radically different like a failed economic system that has
killed millions.

"Our generation has never really known prosperity," wrote one
woman on Twitter. "And by that, I mean that we are so steeped in
prosperity that we don't even know what it means to be poor. So
I really think it'd do us some good to just kinda turn the clock
back on economic progress and see how we like it. Who knows, it
just might suit us."

"To be honest, I grew up on Dunkaroos and Fruit Roll-Ups, and
I'm just really kinda sick of those tbh," she wrote. "Let's try
an economic system that doesn't have any food instead."

At publishing time the nation's millennials were having second
thoughts upon learning that socialism results in waiting in
lines longer than ones in front of an Apple store for basic
necessities like food and water.
