      I fucking hate this

      Just take a random sampling of 30 working class Americans and they will tell you right the fuck away that’s needed to keep this piece of shit from falling apart

      Healthcare

      Decent living wages

      Housing

      Infrastructure repair— not even building new shit just fixing what we have

      That’s fucking it. I’m not even a capitalist but for fucks sake anyone without a dog brain knows that for the grift to continue those four things need to be addressed, but instead the “leaders” are opting to let the leeches suck the country down to the marrow than give even a modicum of a concession to working people, instead opting for a descent into madness and conspiracy as people desperately try to square the circle of living in “the best country on earth” but being unable to afford basic staples.

      And they want us to sit here and pretend like they’re trying. Fuck off. It’s insulting.

        The oligarch’s model for development is creating walled enclaves of the rich with the entire globe looking like a mad Max version of Eastern Europe where everything is held together with duct tape. That’s THE PLAN.

        "Healthcare", "decent living wages"? Tf you mean, we already have a labor shortage! You want to make these ingrates more uppity? "Housing"? I got 30 million seniors who will starve if house prices go down because their HELOC will get liquidated, what do you want me to do Jack?
