I could spend hours taking this apart but this part (to borrow a meme) made me throw up a little in my mouth: > Take out a piece of paper. In one column, list all of the major problems this country faces—inequality, political polarization, social distrust, climate change, and so on. In another column, write seven words: “America has more talent than ever before.” Life isn't great because a pound of sugar has a lower labor-cost than it did 200 years ago. Here's another nugget: > From 1980 to 2018, the average amount of time a person had to work to afford the basket of commodities—energy, food, raw materials—that make up a typical middle-class lifestyle fell by 72 percent I notice housing isn't on that list. I mean this whole piece could be summed up as "Isn't capitalism, and by extension America, amazing?" Debt is built into your existence. Student debt, housing debt, medical debt. We have a system ibuilt on the exploitation of labor and the only way for profits to keep increasing is for labor to be squeezed ever more. Every part of your life is being financialized. A workforce living paycheck-to-paycheck is a compliant workforce. This is the road to neufeudalism.
