They could have voted socialist at any point in time. Americans could have had healthcare, 36 hour work week and a pension system. That is the tragedy of the American empire- instead of improving the lives of its citizens all the money went

You honestly think anyone in the US wants to evaluate just why Americans turning to drugs? Nobody wants to open up that can of worms.

You are right but this requires Americans to stop thinking their country is perfect. Any deep introspection and the whole facade breaks down... Anyone who does not want to worship Jesus or Trump is welcome to check out the Netherlands.

Exactly. We don't live in a cyberpunk world were corporations run their own universities and have their own private army. Everything that allows a company to exist- from electricity to roads to law enforcement of patents is funded by t

Yeah my definition of not well off is minimum wage. Maybe I am wrong here and Starbucks is really paying barristas 200k per year IDK?

There are entire skyscrapers filled with people whose job it is to make sure rich people pay as little tax as possible.

That is bullshit. With that kind of thinking there would never be a whistleblower or political scandal. Everything can be swept under the carpet because someone signed an NDA.

Even babysitting 2 checkouts is still better than employing 2 cashiers. And that is assuming you can even find cashiers. Way back when I was a child the supermarket cashiers were women in their 40s who got divorced and needed a low skilled
