Well it sure is a good thing SNAP basically doesn’t exist anymore, otherwise these brain dead morons, these wayward souls, they’d have a chance to be tempted into becoming profligate hypocrites in another way!
You see, God, Trump, they’re the same thing, and this is all a good thing, because now they’ll have a chance to prove themselves before the sacrificial altar of capitalism, just as Jesus wanted.

You don’t need to suspect that, you need to be 1000% sure of that.
Even in good economic times, what is it, like 90% of newly started businesses fail in a year or two?
Yeah, the ‘start your own business!’ advice is yet another laughable boomerism, easily dismissed by a casual glance at any data from the last 50 years, but no, no, they know better than reality, donchaknow?

Not like bank failures have been steadily climbing, not like the credit markets are seizing up, bond markets going fucking haywire.
No no no, everything’s just fine.
… I suspect people are going to very shocked to discover the differences between a recession and a depression.
History is apparently stupid though, learning from it is evidently a social faux pas… we just love continuously having to learn what mistakes look like by slamming our faces into them with reckless abandon.
