It's appropriate that corporate barons in airlines, hotels and restaurant industries that have long funded Republicans for deregulation and union busting and poverty wages. They're now getting the full side of the coin which includes:
Airlines will be devastated with reduction in local (poverty wages, can't afford flights) and international travelers. Hotels will suffer as they should. I hope restaurant owners are decimated.
Have the economy and society you voted for you greedy, selfish, disgusting fucks.
While I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, I cannot help but notice the irony in that particular bit.
It's similar to the irony of Google's keyboard autocorrect inserting an error when the user knows better. I typed all that on mobile and even got bullets to format, I'm proud!
Strong Bad singing voice:
“If you want it to be a possessive it’s just I-T-S, But if it’s supposed to be a contraction then it’s I-T-apostrophe-S…scalawag.”
Whole list of things where the rules were put in for a reason, but people forgot the reasons, and now they want to get rid of them. Sometimes while calling GK Chesterton a conservative intellectual and forgetting about his fence analogy.
Why, yes, it was all shaving the sharpest edges off of capitalism. It was the only way this system could even possibly work, and they're dismantling it.
There are different factions of oligarchs. The Trump administration has been extremely generous to mass-market quack-cure hucksters, legacy media, purveyors of intrusive surveillance tech of all kinds, crypto con artists, religious and home-schooling snake-oil salesmen, venture capitalists, private equity weasels, private prisons and fossil-fuel extractors. They have been unhelpful and often hostile to health care, hospitality and travel, agriculture, science, education, and the renewable energy sector.
It really doesn't matter. The oligarchs that weren't installing Republican fascists were ratfucking the Democratic party. They are as responsible for Trump as anyone. When the whole economy became a scam, it was inevitable that the country would fall to a scam artist.
