Observation

The government can bail out the richest people in the country, but can't be arsed (thanks, England!) to help out a poor widow like my mother.

Yay democracy!
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

I've studied the phenomenon of neo-provincialism in self-isolating online communities but this place takes the fucking cake.

More to the bullshit of spectrum politics. It's all about serving constituencies and both mainstream US parties, esp. the Republicans, are beholden to Wall Street. Besides, helping average people is just welfare that encourages dependence. Helping business, on the other hand, let's them learn from their mistake and gets things back on track. :rolleyes:

Your mom should smarten up, lend money like and idiot to people who could never be expected to pay it back, take the profits, and then cry to the gubby that the sky will fall if they're not bailed out.
