I'm GenX, seen some sh*t. 87', 2000-3, 2008-9, 2017, 2020, and 2023.

This feels different.

It feels different because this is premeditated and intentional: they want the economy to burn, so that the Oligarchs can buy out billion dollar companies for millions.

I think at least some of the others were premeditated too, just a lot less obvious & with more steps.

It’s different because we (Gen X) knew Trump was a lame and feeble con artist back in the ’90s and ’00s. We thought George W. Bush was the stupidest president ever to work in the White House.

At least Bush gave a damn about this country. We never thought the orange man would end up in a position where he could dictate everything in our lives AND he’d be happy to run this country into the ground just to profit for the hell of it.

He’s too stupid to understand the true, lasting effects of destroying the U.S. economy

This time it feels like they didn’t just kancho and run, but ripped America’s pants down and are currently taking her to pound town very intentionally.

This seems deliberate and ignorant to regular people. Like in The Big Short, people are going to suffer for these decisions. I hope something good does come out from this.

Because the boomer who’s responsible thinks “it’s going well.”
