I’m also, what, 20 or so years younger than you?
I’m also, what, 20 or so years younger than you? I remember when part-time workers earned benefits, vacation time, sick days. It was pro rata, based on how much they worked. I remember when I had a ZERO co-pay for office visits, didn’t need a pre-auth for anything, an e/r visit was $50, and ALL BCBS rx co-pays were $.50 (yep, that’s 50 cents).

This was in the mid-90’s, when the middle class was thriving….. and Clinton was tearing down major regulations behind our backs. The banks AND pharmaceutical companies were deregulated under his watch. We were doing so well financially, no one was paying a damn bit of attention.

That’s how this government works. They give with one hand, and take away 20 times as much in such an underhanded way…. We are SO damn busy working, raising kids, being sick, having breakdowns, being disabled, losing our minds, hell most of us don’t KNOW enough about government to figure out wtf they’re doing or why!!

I figure why is pretty easy: to keep control of US. Cuz they know if we realize how much power we have….. they are SCREWED.

We just have to realize they do not — and cannot — control us — IF we do not LET them.

We have a choice.

Realizing we have a choice is the first step in breaking our chains.

To see how far they are willing to go to stop decent people from rising up, check out the history of the “left radicals” — The Black Panther party . Or the FBI infiltration into MLK’s nationwide travels/marches. Yes, he was SO dangerous, clearly, the government had to stop his message of peace and unity.

The left used to be VERY powerful in the U.S. The government assassinated, murdered, and falsely imprisoned a whole bunch of high level people in the major organizations that existed in the 1960’s and 1970’s to kill it. Because that helped big business.

We aren’t free. We got told some nice story about being free. We got it better than other countries, better living. More rights, more toys. We don’t get beat on a regular basis, or have to fear being thrown in a jail, never to be found again. So….. we pay with our minds and bodies. We endure massive amounts of psychological stress and trauma. I’m guessing most people have no idea there is an all out war going on against our minds. Or who is losing it. Hell, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m on the losing side. Lol.

Given a choice, I’d take a nice, boring, stable life in a social demo-cratic country. You notice THEY don’t have massive recessions? Capitalism, we have them regularly, like clockwork, every 7 to 10 years. Yes, losing EVERY CENT WE HAVE IS NORMAL!! Lmao!

Of course — more gaslighting — we’re told capitalism is the best system, our only option, socialism will kill millions, has killed more people than capitalism, and no other system works than the “free market.”

Another lie. We’ve NEVER had a free market system.

Apparently, our government thinks the country is full of idiots, and we’ll believe whatever they tell us. Ummm…. I got me an education, a brain, an internet, and I don’t use Google. Research. Lots of stuff out there my government never told me. Probably too embarrassed.
