Like I always say; education level in the country is getting shittier by the year. People can do a simple math problem… and think eggs and milk prices will go down. Sigh
Maan, y'all were fine with that arrangement as long as Black and Brown people were the $7.50. Things changed and now yall wearing the Pikachu Face meme. I agree... But still...
They have also convinced them that the party trying to make things better, is no different than the party that wants to end collective bargaining and overtime pay.
Why would they give up now? Punching down has always seemed to work in a capitalist society as long as you convince people that the people below them were trying to take what they have. They’ll ignore the fact that the people above them are taking everything.
Yep. I keep reminding people that it's amazing that before Reagan, Americans were a lot wealthier, but somehow, toting around an American flag and pretending to be godly is enough to get regular Americans to give that all up for the mega-wealthy in this country.
It's an extremely old playbook, but each time it comes around, the people it hurts most seem to fall for it, and vote for candidates promising to protect and save them.
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

I love this meme with Bernie Mac. Whenever I see it I make it a point to read whatever is in the meme as I figure the OP is not messing around when this Bernie comes out. 👍
Christians are taught from birth to avoid critical thinking.
Christians stormed our Capitol and smeared their seditious 💩.
Its time to Remove the Tax Exempt Status of American Churches and fund public education.
19th Century entrepreneurs built good quality homes for their staff and floor employees.
21st Century Entrepreneurs rely on the Taxpayers to supply the housing and Infrastructure.

The people that are making $7000 an hour. Could afford a team of people that make $700 an hour to figure out how to bamboozle the people who make $25 an hour into believing the problem is people who make $7.50 an hour.
The best part is the endgame where they are like: congratulations we got rid of all the $7.25 workers, so we now have -$5 workers (modern slavery) and you are now $7.25 workers and have to compete with them while we earn a $1,000,000 per minute.
What kills me is that people talk about democrats being elites and can't appeal to the working class. Now we have a government that will staffed and controlled by Republican Millionaires and Billionaires -Thank You idiots🤬
Let's use this window of time before Trump Season 2 begins to amass some home-grown economic data. Just chuck your receipts for ordinary purchases into a box. Later, we can compare this info with the tariff-inflated prices to come. I'm calling this plan "We Have the Receipts: Grassroots Evidence."
Old story, but the lack of critical thinking remains constant.
The wealthy steal from us more than we are probably aware of. Not because they're smart, not because they're successful, but because they have the power to do so.
I went to college with a guy who dropped out and is now in his 50s making about $8 an hour driving a truck for a small company in his WV town. He lives in a trailer, has a large collection of guns he probably can’t afford, and wants tax breaks for billionaires.
This would be funny if not so very true. What is even more amazing is it took me 50 years to realize how generally stupid and gullible 51.7% of the US population really is.
The Epstein and Diddy lists are out of their hands so they buy the political system to avoid prison. Hence buying the GOP and MAGA. COVID was a test for compliance. This is the live test bc the smooth brains wouldn't even wear masks and the billionaires know what prison is like. They own them.
So true. No one in America should make a salary they cannot live on. $20 an hour should be the minimum wage. Across the nation. And the millionaires and billionaires should take a fucking pay cut. A big one.
