The US is in a death spiral and the income bar required to ignore the problems in society will soon be high enough that nobody can pretend neoliberalism is working anymore. The question is will people see one another as allies and try to rebuild something more equitable that provides for everyone, or will working people remain divided. I’m optimistic but the corporate media wants to keep people mad at the “other side” instead of realizing the entire system is rigged and that all the wealth created under massive productivity gains since the 1970s has gone to the rich.

- gridlockd 6y agoWhat neoliberalism? Actual neoliberalism worked pretty well. Reagonomics worked pretty well. The economics of today are not neoliberal, they're a charade where we pretend that we can have a market economy without market risk. Pushing through an actual neoliberal agenda in today's political climate would be unthinkable.
