    We’re only in bad economic time because the wealthy elites and corporation gobbled up everything away from the public, which makes it even more sad.

      Yes, but it’s bad for everyone but them. The reason doesn’t really matter. It’s the same as always. It’s mostly the same conditions that led to the last rise in fascism.

        No, the reason absolutely does matter. If we were all suffering because of a global drought, that would be entirely different than all of us starving and going homeless at the peak of human production.
