    Which misses the point.

    It’s been rotten for quite a while, but NOW some people show up and are like “HEY THESE APPLES ARE ROTTEN”, like no fucking shit

      I do get your point. I was trying to be pithy.

      When a system is designed from inception to be unfair (what an entirely inadequate word) there’s no fixing it without excising it entirely.

      I don’t see that happening within my life time or my great grand children’s.

        Well, if you were trying to be pithy, you should have used citrus, not apples, so there, neener :)

        I share your lack of hope on things getting much better. I still plan to vote, I still plan to argue online and convince people that we need to deal with our oligarchs as I believe the greatest root of the problem is wealth inequality and that falls at the feet of the oligarchs. Everything else follows from that.

            hah, I didn’t realize it was an intentional pun - I was proud of myself for leaping on it, so now I have to apologize for missing yours AND thinking I was so smart. lol.

            I am now pleased with you, though. Better late than never :)
