| Yes, it is a mess. Still on us though. Unless we want to see the nation invaded, there really is no one else with standing to address the growing problem. A class level action is needed. When things reach clearly, can't miss it, can't live with it levels of unacceptable, we may see that happen. Or, maybe we see just enough placating and theatre to trundle along for decades. Last time we moved like that, it was the 30's. People struck the crap out of basically everyone, handing FDR position to go and get the New Deal done. Those strikes and actions were illegal and legal. A whole class in high solidarity acting right out. His follow on was never seriously discussed and in the decades since, we have seen many moves to prevent a similar scenario from happening again. What we do not know is whether that history can be repeated. The response today might just be brutal. It is all terribly expensive either way too. |
