Default Morality and Money

The US has traded justice, morality and prosperity for the all mighty dollar.

As a population we are greedy, self-centered and fat. We make decisions based on financial viability over morality. Seems like it started in the 80’s.

Make Gilead real.

I had a friend once that used to always hate the stock market and say that is what screwed us all up because both the board of directors and the CEO of business have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders, not the greater good.

Started in the 80's? Jay Gould's ghost says otherwise.

Did it start... gasp with Regean?
A republican introducing Milton Friedman's theories about neoliberalism?
(I know it has the word liberal but don't go crazy, it's ultra conservative)


Are you openly admitting that capitalism is shit and lead to corruption, lead to greed and trading justice, morality and prosperity (???) for the all mighty dollar?

Are you turning into a socialist?

Fucking commie.

If you cannot afford this bread, starve.
If you cannot afford this roof, stay the fuck outside.
If you cannot afford this medicine, die.

This is the normal way of capitalism and if you are not in favour of this, you are a dirty fucking socialist commie.

Of all the things you could be doing with your time on a beautiful summer afternoon. You chose to cry and rage over politics.

Of all the things to do with freedom, you still choose to try and tell me what to do.

Why don't you go get educated?
Super useful, even during rainy day.
