Late-stage democracy is more descriptive than “end-stage capitalism.” What you’re seeing is a predictable failure mode of a system in which people can vote themselves more money. That’s not a failure of capitalism, that’s unrestrained democracy robbing capitalism.
I'm in my 40s. I'm a lawyer. My wife is a lawyer. We both work full time.
We cannot afford the house my parents purchased on a single electrician's income in their 30s.
We cannot afford the house my immigrant grandparents purchased on a single MTA bus driver's salary in their 30s. They had SIX CHILDREN.
For 30 years, politicians in Washington & their oligarch allies convinced regular people that this was just about avocado toast and fancy coffee.
In reality, this is end-stage capitalism. Everyone is stuck in place. It's impossible to buy a home. It's too costly to move. We work too much to have passion projects. We don't have enough savings to start our own businesses. We can't afford to go without healthcare to do it.
Thanks for writing this article @troy_closson. Would be very happy to discuss further.

So much of the climate hysteria is just aimless guilt roaming the earth in search of futile acts of atonement.

It is time to talk to your kids about Playoffs Iowa
An uncomfortable but necessary conversation
Maybe we just played 2 teams that have five stars at every position 3 deep, and maybe Ames game planned against us the whole summer like they do every year like it’s their Super Bowl and maybe we didn’t have our whole playbook installed - maybe we actually aren’t bad?

It's almost like the Titanic theme song was made for this play.
