    Reminder, economies are meant to be lowly tools of a society to maximize the equitable and efficient distribution of goods and services within said society.

    Our western, rigged, market capitalism has metastasized to the point that our society lives in subsistence and subservience to that lowly, broken tool. To the point that when disaster strikes, our societal leaders rush out to reassure us that every possible measure will be taken to protect our society people children economy.

    Its perverse to watch, it’s insane, it’s ass backwards, but here we are.

      If the people who needed to hear any of that the most could understand a word of it, they would probably be nodding along in agreement and ready to do their part to make changes.

      Or they would just call you an “elitist commie” and go take out another payday loan.
