   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.
