    This completely and wholly ignores the fact that things are getting worse. We’re deep within the sixth major mass extinction event, income inequality is at an all time high greater than the Gilded Age, and billions of people around the world are struggling harder and harder to survive.

    Just because there was a very short time where a middle class truly existed does not magically erase everything that is, in fact, happening. Do not let a stupid, ignorant quip innoculate you against action to fix the problems that DO exist.

      Survive? Global hunger is at an all time low and life expectancy is at an all time high.

      Just because Netflix wants to maximize profits it has nothing to do with survival.

        Good job not knowing the first thing you’re talking about.

        If you think climate change isn’t coming for us all, or that billionares are somehow not bad for everyone, you’re only revealing how fucking ignorant you are.

          Climate change doesn’t make hard to survive today, even if you live on an Atoll in the pacific.

          Billionaires have always existed, from Roman generals to Dutch traders, to Soviet politicians.

        rofl as if a boomer would say things are getting worse, as they pull on their retirement fund that benefitted from every capitalistic expansion of the economy of the last 50 years…

        You are not only wrong, but you are stupidly misinformed on reality if you think I am a boomer…
