More or less spot on about the cost of housing and higher education. One aspect is “we” is misplaced. The Koch network intended this fate. They’ve worked to this end for 50 years.
hilarious presentation even if I quibble over some of it.
Billionaires hate us, that is why they are pulling apart the republic and democracy all over the world. It’s them or us. They want tyranny and we want our lives.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@economics@a.gup.pe I don’t think the billionaires hate us. It’s more likely they can’t “see” us for their own narcissism. They act from near term financial maximization without caring about societal impacts. It’s all about “what’s in it for me now!”
@wdjorth@GhostOnTheHalfShell@academicchatter@economics@a.gup.pe Eh, I think people underestimate some people's antisocial tendencies. Hate isn't always a frothing thing. Often it's a polite smile to your face and a discussion behind closed doors that if it was possible to erase your existence without any mess that would be ideal.
It's tied up in the idea that the only good people are people who are personally useful to you.
There's immense harm in that mechanistic perspective.
It is easily closer to hate. At the very least, contempt. And neither is incompatible with narcissism and can be an aspect of it.
Billionaires spend hundreds of millions of dollars per year to dismantle the republic and ruin people's lives in debt bondage and have done so for 50 years.
The sole reason for the Koch network is to have the US ruled by plutocracy.
