I made a substack for this so you can send it to your libbed up friends and family. Also like/comment on the article that would be cool, im sure that helps spread it somehow

Premise: A lot of great socialist and left-leaning people have dismantled the main point of the Bidenomics argument by showing that many millions of people were left behind. This article is coming in to destroy what little remains after that - even the best case scenario is still just wrong and delusional.

The Guardian had an editorial this week making a similar point. People got to experience life with an actual social safety net for a while, realized how much easier it made life even in the midst of a global pandemic, and now they're pissed that it's gone.

I still remember a couple years ago when a lot of people said the global pandemic was by far the best time of their lives. Just vibing, doing hobbies, finally truly decompressing after decades. They won't ever forget that feeling

It feels fucked up to say given how many lives it destroyed, but in some ways, the pandemic was the best thing that ever happened to me. It let me start working from home. No longer being under the office panopticon or having to mask (in the autistic sense) for 8 hours a day was a massive load off of my back.
