Just found out my nonna passed away, I definitely got the morbs today. :(

Ah ok so if I’m understanding this, the 2.2T we make is all of our collective earnings, which we then get taxed on, which in turn pays for our services and those who help keep things going (i.e. police, firefighters, gov workers) and such ALONG WITH paying down the debt and building up the infrastructure where it’s needed?

I’m going to sound like a moron asking this, but if the country makes over 2 trillion per year, and we are only spending 4 some-odd billion per year, shouldn’t we be able to get out of debt while staying afloat over time?

This post is cathartic. It’s like you’re yelling in a group chat after a long shift under a clueless boss. If you already see Carney as a cold, top-down technocrat, it hits the mark. It’s sharp, funny, and captures a real frustration that a lot of people feel toward polished elites who seem out of touch with working life, but if you’re not already on that wavelength, it falls short of convincing. It leans too hard on a silly photo op and makes some big leaps from awkward pancake flipping to sweeping conclusions about Carney’s character and politics. There’s not much in the way of hard evidence or policy critique to back it all up, it’s more vibe than substance.

He’s got my teeth.
