the capitalist media sure has shut up quick, haven’t they
Sadly, they have not. They are, if anything, only getting louder and more obnoxious.
They’ll probably keep at this line until we hit another big downtown and then it will be “you poors should be grateful to work for peanuts, don’t you know how bad the economy is right now?!”
I mean, what happens in the next big downturn? I think that’s something of an open question. Like, smugly telling people “Get back to work” when there’s no work to get back to is a great way to grift your patrons but also a great way to kick off a riot.
I get the sense that we’re going to need a new National Enemy and quick if we’re going to be able to channel all the rage from the next Enron collapse or Lehman bankruptcy.
