This alone should be shouted from every rooftop, but now is relegated to snopes fact checking, apparently.
Yeah it's a political statement, a blunt one, but it's a candid statement of how to keep poor people poor.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoHow much is MSM responsible versus technology and economic progress in other nations bringing huge amounts of labor online that would cause prices for many types of labor to go down in the US, and labor prices to go up in poorer parts of the world?
- silisili 5y agoTo be clear, I didn't mean to say MSM is responsible, only complicit. If we had real, independent, healthy media, these issues and those responsible would be plastered all over. Instead we're stuck with whatever the hell we have today, that seems mostly entertainment, selected outrage, outright lies, with a few actual happenings sprinkled in.
