    …And he won’t do a goddamn thing about it legislation-wise. Hell, he won’t even SAY anything about it.

    I really wish we would have elected the guy who - despite what he could or couldn’t have done in office - at least used the bully pulpit to call out the ghouls with dragon-like hoards of wealth that have put us all in a worse place than our parents were 60 years ago.

      I’d settle for where my parents were 30 years ago. One middling income, no higher education, and a 2500 square foot house purchased for $350k dollars (in today dollars adjusted for inflation) that’s ‘worth’ $750k now.

      Adjusting for inflation, my wife and I combined make as much as my dad did.
