Yeah, that makes sense too. I think there are definitely some technical limitations, design flaws, perverse incentives, etc. baked into the political system that have led us where we are today. It's a bit too resistant to change.
You're not wrong, but there was a time when the regulatory capture was not so complete, when politicians were not openly bought and sold... Am I just having nostalgia for a time that never was? Maybe... I still have hope though.
I get the joke and at this point I'm disillusioned enough to laugh at it. The Democratic party is so disconnected from the working class that, assuming there is another election, I don't know what's next.
Having trouble feeling super compassionate. An abundance of luck and good market circumstances combined with a once in a lifetime fluke led to my ownership of a house. I have no illusions that I'll ever actually be able to really retire.
My friends aren't as lucky. Their rent is more than double my mortgage. They're going to be working till death for sure.
It's okay though, we've gotta do something to support those quarterly profits, right?
This is why this family is getting into politics. Campaigning starts March 4th. People won't vote for the school levies and much of the state money is going to charter schools, but gotta start somewhere.
