“Suddenly, abused and battered wives or children, the unemployed, the depressed and mentally ill, the illiterate, the lonely, those grieving for lost loved ones, those crushed by poverty, the terminally ill, those fighting with addictions, those suffering from trauma, those trapped in menial and poorly paid jobs, those whose homes are in foreclosure or who are filing for bankruptcy because they cannot pay their medical bills, are to blame for their negativity.
The ideology justifies the cruelty of unfettered capitalism, shifting the blame from the power elite to those whom they oppress.”
Chris Hedges
But still people in this country have opportunities to overcome various hardships. The elites still get blamed for much because of envy caused by politicians and media.
@bb: “But still people in this country have opportunities to overcome various hardships”
What a load of crap! Opportunity? About as much as winning the lottery.
The buck stops with those who run things, have the money, & make the rules.
bb is a well conditioned slave, he loves his captors.
What a friggin’ retard.
No ,not really . In 2008 when I lost my job I started looking for ways to make money on my own.There are plenty of business opportunities if you have a little money to invest. I picked FedEx because all I needed was 8000 down to get a decent truck to start. I had to get my CDL , my doubles endorsement and I was in business. Very simple. It’s been almost 7 years and I’m still here.
Dutch ,Ecoman ,…..there is plenty of opportunities if you will just open your eyes. Damn ,guys .You win the lottery just by being born here.Think about it.
