    This has been going on for a long time, a decade or more. It’s not the liberals, Trump, etc. Its more or less that we have a stagnant income growth issue where the cost of living has eclipsed what the average person makes. We’ve let these corporations concentrate at stupid levels, and we let them run roughshod over us. We do this because everyone’s in debt, and managers know the level of control they have over us. Everyone is working multiple people’s jobs, making do with nothing. No one innovates anymore. We reward nonsense, like the selling of shares to each other over and over again, meanwhile the underlying stock has no actual growth, it’s all hypothetical. No one makes anything anymore. It’s just shill shill shill.

    It’s just finally gotten to the point where it’s starting to crack and blow up.

      If companies have been allowed to run roughshod throughout your country, then what you’ve had for the last 10 years is not liberal policy makers but conservatives wearing liberal makeup.

        Conservatives, liberals, NDP, etc etc etc. It’s all the same. Pick between Shit, Shit Light, or Shit Menthol.
