It’s staggering and painful to realize just how much we’ve lost due to neoliberalism and Reaganomics. This country has always sucked but it used to actually be a country that did good things sometimes. It’s been so ruthlessly hollowed out over the last 30 or 40 years, and if you weren’t there to watch it happen things in the past just seem unreal. It’s like when people say that if you tried to propose libraries today people would think you’re insane. Can you imagine non-commercial government funded educational programming in 2022?
