Like we should have forgiven and forgotten by now Sheesh!

Something everyone who had to find new work at 50+, everyone who lost their equity in their home, everyone with kids struggling to find apropos employment while shouldering crushing school loans, are reminded of daily.

Yeah we still harbor disgust at the third way, but also a bit of self loathing for being too busy 20 and 30 years ago to keep up with what was really going on. For trusting the MSM back in the day after they propped up Uncle Walter as a figurehead long after the bias towards the uber rich was instituted.
