Consumerism is how they define rich here. The idea thst you have access to more good and services (to buy) than your grandparents did is how this is the best country in the world. It’s a none sense argument and this crisis has just totally exposed it. We have a bunch of old career politicians running decrepit institutions chief of whom comes up with worse ideas every week than he did the prior week. This weeks special: use religious symbolism of Easter to inspire the masses to support his idea of resurrecting the economy. The sad irony here is that the people who help elect this clown and his posse are likely the ones that will be impacted most by this crises. In a weird way it’s fitting - as they say you deserve the politicians you get. And in this case you is the subset of all voters whose votes mattered (swing states) and their electoral vote resulted the people we have today.
