In Reply to: Legitimate question--what do you have against farmers?... posted by dark_dave56 on November 22, 2020 at 05:02:51:
I'll bail out your dairy farm if you'll fund my buses and trolleys. Even though I don't buy or drink milk.
I'm a communitarian; scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. In a strictly figurative sense.
By the way, I don't own a Rolls Royce either. I've got a 15-year-old Chevy.
A lot of the people I worked with before I retired...they couldn't afford a car and needed public transit in order to show up for work every day. They're producing that GDP shown in Chris's chart.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
