      No. This isn’t what we have, this is what the wealthy elite have. We’re not making do, we’re drowning. We’ve been drowning. But everyone ignored the warnings so here we are.

        humans have been making do with much less than what you have for hundreds of thousands of years. making do also does not necessarily exclude political action

          That’s right up there with, “better clean that plate, there’s starving kids in China!”

          It’s that very history you mention that tells me it’s time to stop supporting weak Democrats. Either we get someone strong enough to pull us back from the abyss or we’re already fucked. This story has played out time and again from the Roman Empire to Post Colonial Africa. The compromise guy is put in charge and the authoritarian runs him over.
