I fucking hate that every couple of years we just backpedal on everything. So god damn exhausting.
It takes so long to fix everything, too!
This is the part that bothers me so much about everything that is being dismantled right now. It took forever to get it to where it is, and it still needed a lot of improvement. And it was just smashed seemingly overnight.
It's like a sandcastle. Takes forever to build a good one, and it takes some asshole one second to step on it and destroy the whole thing.
Absolutely. The last one to just go "lol nah" and demolish the working class this hard was Reagan, and we were still reaping the fallout from those asinine policies when 2016 hit!
We had never actually fixed any of the shit that Reagan broke. They kept doing more of the same stuff he had started
The religious right latching on to Reagan as the patron saint of supply-side economics was a serious fucking problem that was completely ignored (and in fact lauded in tons of circles) at the tone. And still is, largely.
It not just took forever to get to where we were but it seems like most of the good things Biden was able to get passed were long term investments. Money spent for something that would help in ten years.
Now it’s money spent and thrown away.
