Ah, sadly, no. That story was cut from the broadcast because we found a story about a dog that rides a motorcycle in Sioux City.
“Market research” by our corporate owners says that white collar crime doesn’t bring in the advertising dollars unless the victims are other wealthy people.
I said this a million times last year on the leftist threads to people crying about the lesser evil. I don’t wish any pain on their lives but I also don’t know how to get through their thick skulls how real life can get unless they experience it from time to time.
That’s oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we’re blaming the majority of people.

Or, you know, I’m being realistic about how things work in the real world. Or do you think that letting the fascists win is going to change the system for the better?
Whether or not you think its ‘oligarchy apologetics bullshit’, 2/3 of voting the population either explicitly or tacitly supported this shit. So yeah, I’m going to blame the majority for the outcome of a majority vote. Ignoring that fact is just going to make getting any meaningful change that much harder, and its hilarious to watch people justify their inaction in the face of the result of their choice.
*Won the popular vote but still a minority (<50%) voted for this.
That’s because 1/3 of voters tacitly support this shit by not voting.

I hope they have the day they voted for.
Simple as that. My empathy for those people is gone.

That’s the same number it’s been for 100 years. You’re never going to change that by pointing it out so what is the goal of this conversation?
That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.
