the real world

The Matrix has everybody locked up.

Locked in a relationship with an ungrateful woman who can financially destroy you and take your children away.

Locked in a job where some HR imbecile forces you to enforce the delusions of mentally ill colleagues who barely work at all.

Locked in a city/town/government that can inject you with poison by force and never even once apologize.

And if you manage to escape…

If you finally become too rich to work, too vocal to silence and too independent to tie down…

They lock you in jail.
