    You and I must be a similar age because I remember the hole in the ozone as well. I also remember writing an essay in grade school about pollution levels (when the library was my only resource).

    We had a chance and our gov'ts blew it. :/

    Reagan and Thatcher were the worst thing to happen to the world at a time when we still had a fair chance at stopping climate change.

    I dunno about you guys, but Canadians get HUGE tax write-offs for political donations, so maybe the benefits outweigh the loss here.

    And the GOP just learned an important lesson ... never let the people decide 'cause they are often smarter than the manipulative politicians (Brexit aside ofc).

    I wanna know who in the SEC allowed mortgage-backed securities to be sold in the first place.

    You're far kinder than I would have been, which explains why being a mod has prerequisites that I don't possess.

    The market has exactly zero rationality in it. The market doesn't think or do anything. It's simply economists anthropomorphising a thing that makes money for rich people.

    Far chance the feds would enact any laws like that against their rich besties.

  • @Maajmaaj @MicroWave

    Yup. We saw similar in Canada as well with Brown and Black refugees not receiving near the help that Ukraine refugees received.

    It's just fucking sickening to watch.

    In actuality America is a federal republic with representative democracy, so not wholly a democratic nation.

    No corners in a cage, but we could strategically throw a few in for good luck. ;)

    Putting all your faith in economists whose sole purpose is to back the current capitalist shitshow that rapes the land and kills the poor is a strange take.

    But you do you I guess.
