( love the reference to "Life of Riley." I use this expression a lot and of course no one younger than a boomer, "gets it!"). Neoliberalism aka Reagonamics, has destroyed this country, and created a inequality from wealth, ethinicity, religion, and even "truth" that we have this nonsense to deal with as one party/group is detroying democracy as we know it.

Yes! I just shared it on FB to my friends. . https://hartmannreport.com/p/can-america-wake-up-from-the-free-d5e?fbclid=IwAR3h_1v_jxWmBE-hQED_PuRCx_OpJR72xfDGfzKjKJ91rKMg4mejIg-fKJo also his book on neoliberalism. I never quite knew what it meant until I read his article. What I found more interesting is how he relates that this neoliberism, had created all this inequality that is driving what used to be ignorant non-political types to MAGA world, and even created these inequality-hype about poor Palestinians and getting college students to protest, and Congress to demand Ivy League schools to call "genocide of Jews" a specific condemnation, and how universities should set policty towards students. Universities are institutions of free speech, and while the Presidents didn't handle it well, they should of gotten up and walked out. . .they were brow beat by radicalization that is not reality.
