    good for the economy

    You know, there are people out there who would suggest that how “good” an economy is should be measured by how well everyone’s needs are cared for while minimizing the amount of labor expenditure needed.

    But sure, lets keep going with the ‘line go up without any consideration of quality of life’ definition since it’s working so well for the oligarchs.

      I was going to take the time to write a biting riposte just like this, but I, unlike some people, know that it’s my patriotic duty to get to work for this Billionaire Payday"economy" and work until I die. This country is built on, for, and by everyone agreeing that if you aren’t working or buying, preferably both, you better get busy dying. After all, how can I ever hope to be happy unless our benevolent overlords can vacation on Mars? So, put down that damn infernal computer machine, and get out there and buy, buy, buy. We can’t have profits down this quarter, or they’ll ration our Brawndo! And never forget, it’s all very different from slavery, because we are paid, have freedomprofits, and healthcare…Uh, well, it is very, very, different. Anyways, 'Murica!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!!
