I still can’t get over the fact that people discussed trickle down economics like it made any fucking sense.

@StillIRise1963 We knew it was bullshit back in the Regan era.

StillIRise1963,

@samhainnight Perhaps, but the government and nation pretended it was real for decades. I heard NO ONE say out loud this is bullshit. Did everyone just sit here thinking it like they do with fascism right now?

@StillIRise1963 It's still alive in spirit when cities will provide incentives to corporations to come.

Like the profits from the corp. will trickle down to the locality.

@StillIRise1963 I’ve never understood that! It is so illogical. If rich people get more money, they’ll just blow it on bigger cars, houses, jewelry, and longer vacations. Or put in offshore accounts. Not much trickle down in that.

@tanyakaroli It was a big, giant, stupid lie that screams "fuck you dummies."

@StillIRise1963 Why do we keep letting them, though? I mean, anyone trying to participate in public discourse with anything remotely resembling Trickle Down™️ should be treated with the same level of respect & consideration as a doctor recommending leeches against an imbalance of the humours - but I'm pretty sure you can find examples of people doing exactly that just this year (or month, or week) being reported on as if they have a legitimate point that deserves to be listened to...

StillIRise1963,

@jwcph Because they made sure everyone was undereducated and their propaganda made white people believe all they deserve are crumbs from their betters.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@jwcph Like, they made white people believe that some people are their betters, just like with royalty.

@StillIRise1963 it did make fucking sense. The fat cats got richer and the rest got fuck all.

StillIRise1963,
@StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

@js Just don’t comment. I don’t need to hear the obvious restated.

@StillIRise1963

What is portrayed as Neoliberalism makes no sense at any level, but yes, least of all as its 'trickle down' justification.

@ZillaMon How quickly we all forget the entire nation let them say this for decades and did not disagree or protest the notion.

    Biggest, most corrupt sales presentation ever. We should have known immediately when everyone got left behind except rich white dudes and wannabes.
