    I’ve read a lot of history. More than you it seems. If you read more, you’d know working class people are actually worse off today than they were in the Great Depression. Inequality, hunger, homelessness, and economic suffering are measurably worse now.

    You’d also know FDR specifically pushed for capitalist reform because the people were on the cusp of revolution, and he wanted to avoid a communist uprising.

    Your refusal to acknowledge suffering people exist around you does not make them disappear. But I guess you believe empathy is a neckbeard thing?

        Yes, it’s become clear you think the suffering of others is laughable. You’ve been extremely upfront about your attitude towards people like that.

          We both know that you aren’t suffering. I’m laughing at you in particular.

          The fact you can’t figure that out is what makes it even funnier.

            I never said I was. I care about people who are. You seem unaware those people even exist.

            I understand that empathy and advocating for others is difficult for you to comprehend. You’ve not been subtle about it.

              And your idea of helping people who can’t get insulin is to burn down the system so no insulin gets delivered?

              That’s such a helpful idea. [/s]

                Sounds like you’ve bought into the capitalist propaganda that all of society will collapse without greedy middlemen to control it all. You lack both intelligence and imagination.

                  Give me one reason to think you could organize a wienie roast, much less the distribution system for the country.

                    The distribution system already exists. The executives skimming massive profits out of it are not a critical component. In fact, it will function much better & more efficiently without that layer.

              You’re pretty funny yourself. "The Grapes of Wrath’ was all about how much the New Deal helped people. Now you’re on the side of a guy who is trashing FDR.
