Nothing in this article should be a surprise to anyone who has been following what's been happening in America lately or to anyone who understands its history. America has throughout its history developed extreme systems of oppression, subjugation, and poverty to control its people and in attempts to control other nations. The main difference between the current implementation described in the article and previous implementations is that it's less focused on race. In the true spirit of progressiveness, the current implementation tries to fuck over everyone, not just minorities, in an effort to update the systems of old. It is a new type of poverty to exist, but not a novel one. It's one that was available to all other developed countries, one that every single one of those countries explicitly rejected. I think analyzing why all other developed, rich countries of the world blatantly rejected this system while the US supported and supports it to the extreme would be a fascinating study.
