The fact that the US has turned literally everything into something you can gamble on really shows how much of a failure of a society the US truly is.
The social contract has been dead for 50 years and yet people younger than fifty still out there acting like nothings wrong, and all you need to do is "get a better job" and everything will be fine.
Man I'm not sure getting a better job is gonna help me escape climate change exacerbated wildfires, nor the gambling markets that incentivize arson.
And before that 50 years ago, what was the social contract like for a black person, a woman, or a native?
Your rosie view of the past, like America was ever a good place, is telling.
nobody said it was a good place. nobody painted a rosie view of it. we can admit when things get worse.
I wonder why do you have the worst takes whenever I see your name. why are you attacking those that are taken advantage of? whats in it for you for attacking this user?
You view this as an attack on the user and not attempting to disillusion as many Americans as possible? I guess it's more for possible future readers, but it's definitely not an attack on the user.
I don't give a fuck about your opinions on my takes lol.
Disillusion about what? does not seem like that user has written anything out of illusions.
but maybe you should when precisely nobody values what you say
It's funny that you refer to yourself as nobody, if a little sad.
At least he knows he's a nobody, you're the delusional one in this case.
Thanks, doc.
