      That’s not true, we had a good run from the forties until I was born in the eighties. A whole forty years of some amount of power!

        do you understand how much of the civil rights movement has happened since the eighties?

        we’ve made them make concessions before. we’ve won before. we could win again.

        and you… you have no idea how badly i wish i believed what i just said.

      True.

      But now more of the hurdles will be removed. Gotta make that wealth extraction more efficient 📈🥴
      Can’t let those poor and middle class people hold onto any of their money.
