It’s clear to anyone who looks at a stock chart from 2020-2022 the entire economy was artificially pumped and we’re living through the dump.
I don’t really know what else people expect voting for gerontocrats who have made their names on leveraged buyouts, insider trader, gaming the courts after their businesses commit fraud and the like. Neither “side” of the political spectrum is innocent of such things, including the voters.
Elder Americans are straight up grifters, free loaders with no ability to accept the rest of the world is not a post-WW2 crater. They were able to win big easy, they are the gold star for nothing generation, due to the rest of the world having been obliterated shortly before their birth.
Electing Romneys, Feinsteins, and the rest is lunacy. They have no idea how to do productive work as the world rebuilt itself without them; they all huddled in offices learning how to design models decoupled from reality, convincing themselves of their genius and work ethic as their families expropriated earnings from workers; because of course they’re owed a cut for producing nothing. It just makes perfect sense.
- philovivero 4y agoI'm struggling to find something useful in this comment. I'll just pick one point. > Elder Americans are straight up grifters, free loaders with no ability to accept the rest of the world is not a post-WW2 crater Compare against younger Americans who are straight up grifters, free-loaders making up crypto coins and NFTs and other garbage that wastes precious natural resources for their scammy activities? In case my point isn't clear, you're attributing to some class of people an attitude that equally applies to all other classes of people, but in a way that somehow implies it's special to that one. I guess the one useful tidbit I can get from your comment is... well... it's already a tired cliché, albeit true: neither American political party is the friend of the little people. And although those parties are dominated by Feinsteins and McConnells, there are still Bernie Sanders and Rand Pauls. So... what do we do about that? Other than discriminate against some class of people that's your personal outgroup? Maybe work at a local level to elevate more Sanders and Pauls?
