A late political scientest, name of Frank ( Francis ) Wilhoit said of conservatism:
”
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place…

In the past ( the 90s ) pundits would just accuse anybody speaking of the increasing income inequality by screeching “class warfare!”. Now it’s just a blackout.

“…it won’t be the billionaires.”
It’s like seeing the 180 degree opposite of the French Revolution. “Power to the job creators!“

Bah! Wait until their electric “rascal” scooters run out of juice, and then they’ll have to walk. It’ll look like Occupy DC with hundreds of fat inert rednecks…sleeping under their misspelled signs.

Isn’t that a tacit admission from him that demand-side economics are better for the economy than supply-side/trickle-down economics?
It’s an edict of faith among jerkweeds like him that only the spending of the 1-percent drives the economy, and that the hoi polloi’s spending doesn’t add up to a pinch of monkey shit….And yet, he’s playing the…[Read more]

I remember a quote/poem from Noam Chomsky quote about that dynamic. Went something like this, if my recollection serves me:
“The poor complain, they always will, but that’s just idle chatter. Our system works, well for us, or at least those of us that matter“.

They know why. They’re just trying to hope for plausible deniability of telling us deplorables to go shit in our hats.

“And Biden feels he has a mandate to do that“. A gazillion bingos.
This isn’t something he lets just slip by. The rightward surge is perfect cover to go a millimeter to the left of the GOP and still be able to claim his “not Trump” bona-fides. He “beat the socialist” and is going to run with that till he gets shin splints. He’s going to make Bill…[Read more]

Surrender to plutocrats!!?? He is a &#@&% plutocrat!
Chris Hedges ought to know better than to ask a question like that. I’ve always thought of him above the fray of media clickbait style of headlines stated as questions.

Gryneos: “many people just have zero interest in science”
I’ve run into people like that: Deriding any articulate speaking as “smart talk”, using the phrase “go read a book” as a sneering epithet.
Lions and tigers and scientists…OH my!!!

Populist Prole replied to the topic Amazon Warehouse Workers Say Company Isn't Actually Providing Promised Paid Sick Leave in the forum General Discussion 1 month ago
“Up to two weeks pay” means to me, when uttered by a greedhead, a maximum of two weeks pay. That covers a hell of a lot of ground between nothing and two weeks pay. It could be merely a days pay, or even just a fraction thereof.
Cynics aren’t born, they’re made.

Oh I’m aware of the term supper, but I’ve only heard it used IRL by some people from the rural south or midwest, or in TV/movies dialogue depicting people form the rural south or midwest.
During my upbringing and beyond, in the areas I’ve done so, it was always breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My sentiments exactly, ‘Captain Arizona’.
The US trade is extremely biased toward imports compared to exports…with the attendant gutting of the working class. So much so there’s not a fraction of a scintilla of a chance the US can “export” its way out of the trade deficit. To that end, less trade is a good thing: A matter of cutting our losses.
