The Final Word
"There are millions of US citizens, from all identity categories, who never recovered from the financial crisis. They might just be a bit bored with the claim of the New York Times that productivity has never been higher. The liberal press, and liberal Aaron Sorkin, tell the people they have nothing to complain about. They are annoyed with the people whose lives just don’t match up with all the hopeful noise about the GDP. How dare they not see that their illness, lack of education and absence of hope or job security is no reason for them not to believe a single thing that comes out of any politician’s mouth or an economist’s formulations?
Some people are thick enough to confuse bigotry with anti-globalisation, so I can’t blame you for telling me, along with the liberal internet, that “kindness” is the answer to a world in which 62 people hold most of its wealth."
