Unfortunately, grifters in the private and public sector have been running long, successful campaigns designed to demonize members of every class that isn’t theirs. As a result, we attack each other while they find new ways (or double down on the old ways) to profit at our expense. That’s why we can’t tax the top 1-5%, improve the social safety net, or proceed with any truly progressive agenda.
We see the similar negative feedback whenever positive examples like this housing policy, UBI pilots, or other reforms of existing systems are attempted. When are the majority of people going to stop chasing distractions about Boomers, landlords, anyone with a job/pension/something they don’t have, etc. and focus on setting aside differences to achieve goals for the common good?
