I saw either a reporter or a round table guest say "People are still angry about the 2008 financial melt down".

That was almost 16 fucking years ago.

Joe Biden wasn't President. Joe Biden wasn't Vice President. George FUCKING Bush junior was pRESIDENT.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden spent years cleaning up that mess, and yeah, a lot of people got financially hurt.

You know, if my mother hadn't sold her land in Kansas 20 years ago, I would have inherited land worth a couple of million now. So what... I am not angry about it. It was her land, not mine.
