I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    The American dream was the freedom to pursue your goals, not those rewards being handed to you. Common misconception. You had a bunch of kids before financially ready or didn’t go to the right school, picked up a felony young, whatver you did, that was on you, by the old timers logic. Literal royalty just wasn’t preventing you anymore.

      Oh I thought the American dream was having crony capitalism destroy your small business and send you to work at the Walmart that replaced you. Only to have to rely on government benefits because its the only job in 50 miles and it pays $7.50 an hour.

      Thats the rural american dream baby. Sprinkle some opioids on it. It’s glorious.
