    The problem is a good economy means the rich get richer and a bad economy means poor people lose their jobs.

    This mindset right here is the problem.

    No, that is not what a good economy means. That is what you’ve been conditioned to believe is a good economy. That there’s just nothing we can do, and if we want to be anything but poor and homeless, then that means we have to let billionaires (and soon trillionaires) exploit us, and that just isn’t true.

      I don’t disagree but many of us are clinging to what jobs we have and a recession often times means layoffs. So if you like your job there is security knowing that the oligarchs are happy you have less to worry about. Not saying it’s right that it is this way, just the way it is.
