    Yeah, though the 1929 crash was preceded by a situation closer to the 80s or 00s. Bidenomics seems to be more or less preemptively doing new deal style policies to build real structure under a crumbling economy. It’s massive spending to rebuild the things that’d been sacrificed for short term economic gain.

      New Deal? Call me when my laid off ass sees a WPA.

        We fucking need one, and I’ve long thought we need to bring it back to the demands table. A minimum wage is great but a guaranteed reasonable wage for hard work in the public good forces everything upwards

          Well not everything.

          The 1% of the 1% get “pulled down”. And I plan on being part of that demographic some day because I’m incapable of conceptualizing the magnitude of the gap between $55,000, and 5,000,000,000.
