One of the clear benefits of state capitalism (i.e. government ownership of the nation's largest for profit enterprises), is that in the event of a financial crisis you can shove a bunch of money into them in a way that isn't just a massive upwards transfer of wealth.

In 2020, Keynes would absolutely be a Dengist.

This haircut is the haircut of 1980s neocons, it isn't an exclusive haircut of all psychopathy, but instead this very specific sort of elite breed of psychopathy.

It's amazing to me that the stuff people post to forums like tumblrinaction are things that actually anget people as much as they do. Like why do people care so much about what some anonymous stranger is saying or going through. I'll never understand why so many people get their rocks off bullying the posts of young people who obviously just feel alienated.

I'm way more concerned about the fact that healthcare costs are totally out of control and that the cost of housing has risen far faster than the rate of wages.
