    Oh no, we won’t be able to afford houses or rent or save for retirement or- hang on just a second…

    Wait, we already can’t do those things, and the last thing I want to do is, once again, validate the existence of people I would prefer to see in little pieces scattered all over the street for all the pain and suffering they’ve caused just to get a little more money on top of their billions.

      Guessing you have no idea what the Great Depression was like. My parents grew up in it.

      Great Depression: 30% unemployment

      2008 crisis: 4.2% economic contraction

      If you think modern America is bad now, boy oh boy, you’re about to get an education on how bad it can really get.

        Ok? And this is relevant how? I’m Canadian, so pretty tied to the US’s bullshit at the moment, but damn where’s this US bravery I keep hearing so much about?

        Deflection isn’t going to solve your problems.
