Would Wall Street have bitten the bailout hand of George Bush Jr.? PrA’li. It’s only about race to the most pedestrian observer in this clusterfuck. This is all about the consolidation of wealth.
Americans think they are wealthy because they have flat screens televisions and $500 mobile phones, but the truth is that Americans live way above their income levels and carry an individual debt load that would cripple most third world countries.
We are about to become a third world nation ourselves, or at least in our poorest precincts like Detroit, St. Louis, Kansas City and Camden. Get ready to sell off all your Nike Air Max sneakers. You are gonna need that money to buy yourself some oxygen.
At least Michelle Obama is setting an austere example for the rest of the us who have little choice, gotta hand it to her. She feels our pain, though I’m not certain about Barry and all the dead SEALs in Afghanistan.
DP, I’ve been in debt too and getting almost all the way out, even into straight poverty is the best fucking thing ever.
I know there’s an individual calculus of pleasure and stress/pain for all of us but fuck a Nike “colorway” and certainly motherfuck all “Niggas In Paris,” unless they mean the Ghost of Fritz Fanon, which I highly highly doubt they do.
