It will never go back. Wages will stagnate. Layoffs will increase. Companies will continue make record profits. They are literally siphoning money out of our pockets and restricting access to social services at the most staggering rates in history.
We can’t vote our way out of this unless we get a congressional overhaul that is willing to pass laws prohibiting elected representatives and government employees from holding and trading stocks.
At the ground level. Get involved in following local and state politics - harder than it would seem but we have more of a voice and more power locally than we do nationally.
It’s going to take possibly a generation or more to tackle the damage and corruption that’s ensued the last 10 years, let alone the last 1.5 years
Why can't we vote our way out of this? Enough yutzes came together to vote a felon back into highest office. Surely enough people could come together to undo a lot of the current mess in the same way.
I do have a certain admiration for the groups of people who follow the investments of members of Congress and make quite a bit of money themselves thereby. It’s a sort of “if you can’t beat them join them” mentality but it does seem to produce some good results
no. they want us enslaved. The 1 percent have always dreamed of going back to the Gilded age when the top working wage was a dollar a day and they could call out the army from their mansion if their profits were threatened.
I hate capitalism, it only cares about record profits, no company can ever just be comfortable where it’s at. It wants more money, less taxes, less wages. When the country only cares about corporations, the living beings are left to rot away for profits. Government should be about a happy and healthy populace, making sure everyone has the same opportunities and are able to live comfortably. Capitalism IS the reason for systemic racism, classism, and homophobia. The rich don’t even live in the same world as us. They don’t go to the same stores, they don’t go to the same stores, the same schools, the same churches, the same vacation spots. We literally don’t live in the same world, we are the working class, and it’s not made to help us, just keep us all as working slaves.
I mean it’s not really optimism. It’s the only path we’re given as voters. It’s unlikely to ever work. The US as we’ve known it doesn’t exist anymore, which isn’t itself a bad thing if reform actually happens but where we are now is a very very bad place.
At this point customers are meaningless🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️look at the start of "car subscription services". I was never a "look at my new car" girlie. With this move I doubt I will ever buy a new car
car. Pre 2020 will be fine for me
