> The voters have a rare choice in 2020 to put clamps on the bullshit economy, to end the froth in our financial markets, to put the needs of the people ahead of inflated stock returns and boasts about revolutionizing rental housing or food delivery or juice machines. We don’t have to live in the bullshit economy. We can reject it.
We can reject it by voting for whom, now? Trump? Or the side that gave themselves the Iowa debacle?
No, such a pervasive bullshit economy is not solvable with the trite advice to just vote harder. If that was a solution, we would have surely done it by now.
It's more of a Moloch Trap[1] that occurs despite everyone's best efforts to avoid it.
