    How dare you!

    Our benevolent job creators promised that, in exchange for turning the bull loose through our blind submission, doting servitude, and complete acceptance of the destruction of the commons for their exclusive profit, they would rain down glorious golden showers of prosperity upon all of us!

    We’ve only been waiting… looks at watch… about 50 years. They could start pissing that wealth down any second now, don’t fuck this up for us!

    Sincerely, the quintessential American sucker.

      I am saving this comment for a well placed reply on LinkedIn.

      I would typically not take credit for those eloquent words, but in that context, I should probably own them.

      Over 100 years. They’ve been talking about Horse and Sparow economics since before the 1900s. They just changed the name around 50 years ago, it’s the same economic theory.
