The migrant workers are often subjected to working conditions that would violate federal worker protection laws, but because they are in the country illegally, they don’t report the poor working conditions out of fear. That’s exploitation, through and through. No worker should be expected to tolerate such poor treatment, regardless of skin color.

Yeah, if Trump deports all those people, who will we exploit for cheap labor?

I guess that leaves only one option, then.

Season’s done. We ain’t making the playoffs.

The penalties, the turnovers, the mistakes, it’s a discipline issue and that goes straight to the head coach.

Edit: more fucking penalties!

I’ll see you on the dark side of the Moon.

Only two possible solutions I can think of. The first is balkanize. Let each group of like-minded people form their own, autonomous nation states, where they can all do things the way they want without interference from others. The second is the reasonable, rational, educated people take complete control of the federal government and force all the states to adopt the policies that have proven to work best.

Individual responsibility, bootstraps, etc.

Never.

Alright, well, keep hoping that they’ll stop burning their hand on the stove one day. Seems like a waste of time and energy, but that’s up to you.

Maybe. How many times does a kid have to burn himself on a hot stove before we accept that he’s just stupid and a lost cause?

Maybe. If people have been given ample opportunity to make the right choice, but they keep making bad choices, choices that continue to cause them to suffer, is that not what they deserve?

They need to find a way to silence the Republicans, then. They need to ensure that people are only getting the right message.

Mocked, yes, but saying they deserve to suffer…

Well, is it not true?

Exactly. They’re idiots and they deserve what they get.

At this point people should be mocked…

That’s what I did.

I know. How does that make my comment wrong?

Oh? What is?

Yeah, fuck those Oklahomans! Those idiots deserve to suffer and struggle.

The theories I’m talking about are neoliberal theories, they are the theories that essentially all economic policies have been based on for the majority of time most of us have been alive. Even if the establishment has recently decided to embrace some changes, you can’t expect people to just forget the last fifty years or so.

That’s not the message working people heard. They heard, “we are the establishment whose theories have been fucking you over for fifty years, but in our infinite wisdom and benevolence we have decided to make some changes that WE have determined will make your lives better, and so you must vote for us. After all, we are your intellectual superiors.”
