    Sadly, it took blood and death to get the worker’s rights we do have, and only apathetic voters to lose them.

      Modern Apathy failed to repair the damage, but the ENTHUSIASTIC giveaway of the country to the rich in both capital and power, the “Reagan revolution,” is most directly responsible for the later Citizens United, Trump, and our imminent collapse.

      Apathy didn’t destroy this country for the people, Enthusiastic greed worship BY the people did. Greed is a personal failing, character deficit, and is every bit as dangerous and destructive to society as hatred. The Gordon Geckos and Mr. Potters of the nation are supposed to be hated, booed, and shunned by decent people for their antisocial activities, not worshipped as the celebrities and…🤮… Role models they are treated like today.

      The owners have spent decades propagandizing us to forget what a societal poison greed is as they took over.

      Oh I’m sorry it’s not greed anymore. I meant greed rational self-interest. Shout out to George Orwell.
