These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

    Stagnant wages, weakened unions, at-will employment, low corporate taxes, etc. All Reaganomics. Supply side economics. Basically destroyed the economic powerhouse that won the Cold War. It’s still a goliath, but instead of an immovable industrial bullwark its all debt driven gambling now. Speculation and financialization.

      And who moved shit to China so it’s now much worse? Bill Clinton.

      And now not even US/EU cars are competitive anymore. Boeing is in decline. Intel is dying.
      Go into any store - nothing made in US anymore.

      Accept responsibility - it’s a Democrat bill Clinton doing
