I agree, Dead Air. Same here. I'm so left, I should be living in 1950s Moscow and sitting in the Kremlin.

But... I don't see any other way. Because, yeah, at the same time, I still like my clothes and my nice house and my record collection and my domestic ales, and a few other creature comforts that make living in this fucked up world halfway bearable.

This makes being pissed off about all this even worse, of course. In simple terms, so, we can't come up with the money for national health care for our kids. We can't pay for our kids to go to college for four years. We can't make sure that everybody has a roof over their head and food in their stomachs. No, those aren't real crises. That shit doesn't matter.

This country basically sucks.
