Keep the masses occupied

Give 'em their iPhones, iPads, Facebooks, Snapchats, even their own blogs (like this one), and the proletariat (the masses) will become so enamored, obsessed and addicted, they won't realize how miserable their plight really is. At least that's how I see what's going on. If you think  the elite [bourgeois] are out of touch,  think again. Nothing could be further from the truth.

At least temperatures are finally starting to cool, with temperatures forecasted in the mid 80's today, and becoming more seasonable as the week continues. I'm not sure I could [can] take much more.
