You can never win with the propaganda of the capitalists. They will twist anything and everything. If you are frugal and save, then "the economy is struggling because people aren't spending enough on businesses." If you spend on so-called 'luxuries' (like spending on anything other than bare minimum sustenance, how luxurious!), then "your poor spending habits are what's causing you to be poor and not the fact that federally mandated minimum wages have been stagnant while living costs rise and the one tepid reformist candidate who cared about it got treated as an extremist."
Okay, I almost missed this part. I want to unread it so bad. How do I make my brain forget that someone compared spending habits to attachment styles to avoid ever making capitalism responsible for anything. 😑 Deep breaths. Okay.
Maybe she should piss her money and connections away (for research purposes) and then see how sound her economic evaluations are, then.
Damned if you do, damn if you don't.
