    Hey do y’all remember Kurt Cobain?..the Grunge movement?.. Ross and Rachel and the gang on “Friends”?

    The time between then and now is the time it took for all middle class labor protections that Made America Great to be utterly dismantled and power handed back to corporations and plutocrats. From '52 to '82. And it’s been 41 years of increasing corporate oppression ever since.

    There is NO WAY to resolve this peacefully. Power does NOT abdicate itself by begging and “voting”.

      I’d say it started even before that in the 80s the Reagan’s trickle down economics and the fetishization of corporate success.

        That’s exactly what I said: 1982. Reagan had been in office for a year and had set all the machinery in motion.

      You say that as if we tried voting. People keep voting for literally the opposite of the resolution of this problem, it is no wonder it isn’t working for you!
