I know this is a satire 'Stack, but am the only one who fired up the Google machine and checked to see if there really WAS a 1950's show called, "On the Money?"
Because this sounded a LITTLE too real LOL Great work!
I was watching a podcast interview last night where the guest mentioned how prescient episodes of The Twilight Zone have been. They've been programming us with TV programming the whole time. Hollywood was always a CIA psyop.
Just watching the old "Twilight Zone" episodes often gave the viewer a look into the future. Rod Serling was a master at subtly predicting the future and understanding human nature. It's still the same 60 years later.
The eeriest example I have on my paws is 1996 song «New World» by the artist then still known as Prince:
> When U wanna find some isolation
> But the tracker U got from vaccination (Keeps playin')
and
> When the lines blur every boy and girl
> How we gonna make it in this brave new world?

"And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy (Punch a higher floor)"
Prince was a prophet, even in his own life.
Correction: Prince actually changed to «the artist formerly known as Prince» already in 1993.

I honestly didn’t get the satire. I also thought it was real and Googled.
Right? I was thinking, "Yep, that tracks." LOL

Yep. Twilight Zone and Ray Bradbury short stories basically mapped out the 2020s.
I've been watching the 80's series "Tales from the Darkside." There is nothing new under the sun.
Turn off the idiot box. Problem solved.
