>so much for our cherished, upper to middle-class institutions.
The same institutions that said everyone needed to go to overpriced college and that shuttering a steel plant in Ohio just for the same steel to be made in even sketchier conditions overseas was an improvement.
They and their peddlers screech about evil billionares and every other aggravating factor because that's easier than looking in the mirror.
This shit ebbs and flows. The institutions did a lot of it to themselves. They'll crash and burn and in 100yr they'll be back again.
No, try the institutions telling you what’s happening in real time.
Only one party and one
segment of society supported the Chicago school of economics.
The billionaires and aspiring billionaires are the ones that put us in this trap.
The term-unlimited and woefully out-of-touch Congress are the ones that looked the other way as they allowed the lobbyists
to carve away more and more of our industry.
If you want to blame, blame the “fiscally conservative” party that foolishly loved and still loves the Chicago school.
To paraphrase your beloved dictator: “You have no cards and no leverage”.
No, they made themselves an easy target.
