People have this erogenous belief that we are living in some 1984 like dystopia. The truth is that 1984 has nothing on Atlas Shrugged when it comes to having predicted the things we are living through. Just as COVID-19 fear mongering and regulations were ruining people's lives, health and global economy, already financially messed up government institutions were finding various ways to fine good citizens.

A Fitting Atlas Shrugged Quote For The Occasion
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”
