Also trust me Bloomberg, young folks aren't being driven to socialism by the pandemic. The pandemic is just icing on the urinal cake. Even without daily news of Bezos raking in more'n most states while folks are facing eviction, lots of people would see this system isn't working.

And let's be real here; whenever anyone tries to make college or healthcare free, or suggests minimum wage should be high enough that people can actually make rent on it, the establishment screams about socialism or communism. So of course by that definition people are becoming socialists! NOT ESPECIALLY RADICAL CHANGE is this hugely socialist thing in this country!

@Leucrotta I saw a headline within the last month praising Uncle Jeff for increasing his personal wealth by 13 Billion in one day. And I wanted to quit on the spot.

@kelseyhusky I definitely feel you there. How do people manage to defend and laud stuff like that?

@Leucrotta By thinking that if it could happen once, it could happen to them. Basically investing emotional energy into the trickle-down to try and make it actually work.
