  • “Deeply concerned.” How reassuring.

    I still don’t want to think he’s a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero “too-big-to-fail” CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.

    He could’ve nationalized the banks that were underwater. Even temporarily. The DoJ had ample evidence, precedent, and prosecutorial room to make heads roll. He was the one person who had power to do so. “Yes, we can!” became “No, I won’t.”

    He’s not the only one in my lifetime to screw the American people, but as a young 25-year-old man, his betrayal stung the most in the wreckage of 2008 into '09. I voted for him. I thought I genuinely liked him.

    When it came down to it, he’s actually like all the rest. Socialize the losses; privatize the gains.

    Eat the rich. Sic semper tyrannis.










  • Fair; poking fun at your lemmy handle was admittedly unnecessary, but I thought it was a decent ribbing, given the name and what you claimed.

    However, none of that absolves you from providing where you get the information that “everyone collectively agrees that the USPS is shit” compared to FedEx and UPS and what it’s specifically “worse” at. You’re not claiming something axiomatic like “2+2=4”, you’re making broad generalizations about “everyone”.

    Of course, you can make claims without evidence and post wojak memes all day, but then “everyone” would “collectively agree” that you’re full of shit.
