    Reagan and “trickle down economics” ushered in the 80s and poured gasoline onto Wall Street, empowering a thousand Gordon Geckos to abandon the middle class workers in the name of greater profit.

      Fuck that 🐍, she didn’t everything she could to keep Bernie Sanders from the nomination. All because she was promised a VP slot. She went so far as to call Sanders sexiest on an hot mic, during one of the debates. I will not forgive her. She is traitor to the progressive movement.

    If a lifestyle isn’t possible for everyone, then it’s an unsustainable and violent privilege.

    Most people in USA don’t realize how their privileged lifestyle is based on the exploitation of the planet and other people. The most mediocre of white people will have a mcmansion with a grass lawn and a few SUVs.

    TBH it’s disgusting and it won’t last.

    This generation needs to stop whining and start doing. You’re just going to have to buckle down and work hard for what you want. Get creative start a side gig. Maybe drug dealing, kidnapping, or even pet assignation. Like you have to get creative if you really want the dream. Don’t give up!

      Sad part is this is on the table for people for a long time. Doing crime to pay the bills.

      Uhhh… you shouldn’t be having an assignation with anyone’s pet… I’m pretty sure that’s frowned upon in most of the civilized world…

      assignation /ăs″ĭg-nā′shən/ noun

      An appointment to meet in secret, especially between lovers. synonym: engagement.

      Sorry, your typo made me chuckle… apologies for pointing it out.
