    The only positive I see is that people are more aware of how cruel and indifferent capitalism is to human suffering. My kids are just now becoming adults and I am really scared for them.

      Except their missing the reason and instead blame this notion that the government is going to force us to eat bugs and live in pods and shit.

      It’s like they can see how businesses, the rich, and capitalism in general are failing them and instead lash out their right wing conspiracy strawman.

        Yeah well that’s what happens when your government solutions are right-wing, means-tested bullshit like the ACA. People stop trusting you. The 30 hour requirement was stupid and plenty of people knew it at the time. All employers should’ve been required to offer insurance, except maybe very small businesses.

          I was at occupy, and it’s fascinating and horrifying to watch people I knew from back then now among the alt right. Tim Pool is the bad penny I always roll my eyes at.
