What do you mean THEY?

The executives pay themselves abhorrent amounts of money because they can.

If I have a production team producing my product, a budgetting team managing the resources, and a sales team to sell the product to the consumer, then what the fuck are you even doing other than sitting on the resources barking orders?

Yeah thats why they just voted to illegalize rail striking, right? To help folks?

The Democrats pay lip service to actual progressive ideas only insofar as it'll get them votes. Once they have them, they'll only do what their corporate masters who funded their campaigns tell them to. They would be right wingers in any other western country.

Your little "lesser of two evils" shpiel to scare people back into line isnt fooling anyone anymore. The democrats have complete control of massachusetts; giving themselves a huge raise while Boston rent spirals out of control is pure unabashed greed.

Oh dont start with the "oh but it could be so much WORSE" crap; thats the same drivel boomers always pull out when young people start talking about how they have to choose between food and rent and cant afford health insurance because their dipshit parents shot down general welfare bills and laws with their "i got mine" greedy mindset.

Just because it could be worse doesnt mean its GOOD. If it can be better, it SHOULD be better; stop trying to divert progress with antiquated boogiemen. We're sick of settling for what we can get.

Oh they didnt have a shit run. They lucked out; their WWII vet post-GD parents worked extra hard to make sure they never ever wanted for anything. The boomers lucked out being born in the most prosperous and easygoing era in our country's history, but still love to pretend they worked against great adversity.
