Oh no - you can definitely 100% prove it, this is the direct consequence, the exact intended consequences, of Trump gutting consumer protections - across the board, not only online but with food and laws about not dumping chemicals in rivers.

The man is the absolute worse person - unless your a rich guy, who wants to make more money by screwing over people who mostly don't even know it.

Anyone who reads this, I dare you to find out why that thing in your life you hate so much, sucks so bad - nothing is ever by accident or unintentional.

The United States, and its People, will be discovering/realizing different ways we have been absolutely f-d by that grifter for likely the rest of my millenial life, thankfully (silver lining!!) US life expectancy has dropped substantially for the 150 million Americans in the bottom 50% of income - rich people in America have to deal with this bs for almost 8 more years than we do

Oh yeah, if you want a faster out even yet - just make 30k or less per year, your life caps at 71 then.

I joke but I hate so much that people will read this and then promptly go back to sustaining this system at their job.

We work our lives away so the rich dont have to and they get to live 14 more years on average than poor people.

Curb your TDS, this trend has been going on much longer than the bad orange man.
Oh, I was just really upset having found out that the IRS is going to settle Trumps 10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, for releasing his tax returns but showed he payed 0 dollars in taxes - AND, the terms of the settlement are that the IRS cannot investigate his family or any of their businesses in the future.

That is the most corrupt thing a Leader in a western country has ever done in the modern world.

Acknowledging reality = TDS.

While you're correct that this is a trend that has been going on for a while, the keyword is trend. Do you understand what a trend is? It's a direction. Meaning, under Trump, it has gotten worse, and that is directly related to the piss-poor policy choices of this administration.

I won't mince words here. People who think policy is completely detached from outcomes are dim, and should spend less time talking because it wastes everyone's brain space.
