Not every exasperated petty bourgeois could have become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler is lodged in every exasperated petty bourgeois.

Does this mean they are buying T bonds back at market or face value? If the latter, this is effectively a bailout right? It's free money lol. Can't let the banks be sad.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

This reminded me of a passage from that Conspiracist Manifesto released a few years ago. It was, uh, not great, but this quote has always stuck with me:

At this point, it would be foolish to ask whether they are conspiring, the 1% who hold %48 of the world's wealth, who attend the same type of schools, places and people everywhere, who read the same newspapers, succumb to the same fashions, bathe in the same discourses and in the same sense of their hereditary superiority

Of course they breathe the same air.

Of course they conspire.

They don't even have to plot for that

Somehow Kantbot was the most well adjusted of them all lol. He has a wife now and has apparently made a left turn.

It was a really mid doc, could have been much better. The director is a chud now too.

I'd block the ips for all those sites on my router if I had a kid. There are some terrible pipelines out there.

I think it's a little lower, between 17-19%. Average hourly wage has increased about 10% during that time period. Couldn't find median which would show an bleaker picture. Not to mention the general problems with CPI.
