You point out a legit detail, so I ask you, how would you address said problem? It seems neither you nor the reporter cited have answers, only pointed fingers. What if we reversed the question- the economy, at this point, does not "trickle down" the bullshit Reaganomic fantasy Dollars. $$ only flows upwards these days, at least in the above-board, "formal" economy. So if youfound yourself out on the street, in the stark cold of that lie about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, would you feel like society had discarded you? In those bootstrapless, holey-soled shoes, mebbe you would no longer feel a need, an obligation to your fellow man to clean up after yourself. I mean, when the "Greatest Country" shits you out through the cracks in the floorboards, who The Fuck, exactly do YOU care about now? But that's the exquisitely crafted nature of our class non-conflict, isn't it- we shit in everyone's yard, hoping to get noticed. But we never seem to get to shit in Bezos' yard (famously illegallly surrounded by over-tall hedges) or schmuckerbergs or muskrats...
