Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

when he says kids will have less toys can someone ask WHY? what are we getting out of this? why do kids have to have less toys? what is the end game where everyone will go "OH I SEE! THIS WAS ALL WORTH IT!" i just keep hearing it needs to happen for nebulous non-specific reasons. *W*H*Y*

Black lung from coal miners. Pawpaw used to say “no one ever woke up happy to say I am off to the mine “ that’s not what they wished for. It’s the choice they had to make to survive

The problem is that workers didn't drag Gilded Age aristos out of their mansions to hang in their courtyards in front of their families. Workers unionized, comparatively peacefully. The upperclasses slowly chipped away at the gains the unions made, learning from their forebears' mistakes.

Yes and the part that made it fairer were the social policies, or ‘socialism’ which is different to communism. ‘Communism’ isn’t even in it. All this bs fear about China too - which *is* communist, but not a dictatorship. If the US wants a regime to fear they should look closer at Putin’s Russia.

According to James DeFronzo regarding the Cuban, Venezuelan, Bolivian, and Nicaraguan Communist Revolutions, rates of education and literacy generally improved underneath such regimes, to the extent that Cuba would often send out medical volunteers to help with disaster recovery.

This is crucial. They do not want an educated citizenry. The goal is to produce ignorant people unable to think for themselves.

Wonder how expensive IKEA will become in the USA… Most of their products are made in China. I imagine a 145% tariff won’t drive sales all that much. For that matter, MOST furniture is made in China. #TrumpTariffs
