Of course they did. If you’re rich, you get a bailout. If you’re not, then fuck you.

    This and, use it to prove to your Republican friends and family, and even your democratic friends and family, how the US is structurally capitalist. It’s not just a happenstance. Capitalists can fund elections, which is how people get in office. They can fund representatives in other ways. They buy stuff for judges. The US bails out, funds, and forgives businesses and not people. Buisness owners leech value from their employees, and that is structurally maintained by US business code. The history is in slave ownership, theft from natives, colonialism, and the maintenance of monarchy-derived capital, and the government system itself is derived to prevent direct-democracy so the poors cant out number the rich.

    I can’t believe how it took me to my 30s to realize this, give them time.
