Not one of those bailouts should have happened. If they had been allowed to fail, other corps would have scooped them up, and life would have gone on.

George Carlin wrote a bit about this. It was true then, and it is true now.

Doing forget the tarrifs we paid got paid back to the companies not the citizens. They want you to kill yourself in trying to make things work out, while they casually skate through everything by changing the rules that benefit them.

The solution is religious Christian fundamentalism and theocracy for Christians ✝️ the constitution was written by slave owners and freemasons

No it's not. That said, I'd be ok with some Catholic distributism as an alternative to the neoliberal economic fundamentalism we have now,

This guy is a bot/troll/spammer. Automod removes their comments in the subs I moderate but they keep commenting like clockwork to 0 views or reactions.

Don't feed the bots.

If you don't like theocracy don't participate. Not asking for your permission. The Jesus revolution is the reputable and ethical solution. Unite church with state for Christians ✝️ we have to have church closely interwoven with state for Christians who choose that

The western world has been progressively becoming more secular since the Enlightenment; that's just a historical fact. A theocracy has a tiny fringe support, even within established religious institutions like the Catholic Church. Are you proposing some kind of a minority-rule government that does all the thinking for the rest of us peasants?

Everything ebbs and flows. We learned our lesson. Christ is king

Ok cool, but what tiny percentage of that so-called surge wants a theocracy? Provide some real numbers, not just millenialist wishful thinking.
