      Naw, this been a long time coming. It’s what we call slow moving economic and political development.

      Raegen and Thatcher were wrong, new public management was a mistake and “liberalization” really just means “let the finance industry run things - surely what will go wrong?”

      So we’re fucking up by not changing precedent set, what, 60-70 years ago?

      We could compromise and say materialism rots everybody’s brains.

        “Trickle Down” was a rebrand. It used to be called Horse and Sparrow Economics.

        If Boomers hadn’t been so collectively ignorant and narcissistic, they would have maybe realized how fucking stupid their voting choices were. They had the opportunity to get higher educations for the cost of a reasonably priced car, but instead chose to stew in their lack of understanding for 50 years, while gas-lighting everyone within earshot with made up nonsense.

        Boomers are precisely why America is in the position it’s in now.
