Significantly different.  We break out the popcorn when Eternal Justice is served.  You know, Luigi for example.  Children as yet unborn are innocent, Hospital CEOs are GUILTY.

Define "eternal justice". Because that caveat isn't used when previewing doom and collapse for everyone, not just the rich folks you or K-Dog might despise. So single moms who lose their jobs, can't afford fuel for the family cage to get to work, that is justice served is it? Even high net worth individuals like K-Dog who appears to feel cramped over the cost of his coffee and breakfast on his way to work, you figure we should be yucking it up as he gets his dose of eternal justice?

And high networth individuals like K-Dog? What is he guilty of that we get to cheer on his financial inconveniences? You figure a more crashing economy making his basic sustenance more expensive is something we should cheerlead? Because small increases in his costs will bug him more than a hospital CEO. You think his $20G heat pump costing him $40G instead is something we want to cheer on?

Whether it's the single mom or Kdog, we don't celebrate their loss of jobs or access to cheap Chinese heat pumps, we celebrate the end of a destructive system and exploitation of workers.   We're not celebrating the concept that other people will have to suffer after we are safely dead.

Why is the US job market staggering despite economic boom?

The slow growth of the US job market is inconsistent with strong economic growth and well short of the hiring boom of just a couple of years ago.


Making America great again means starving some people.  Cull the herd.  Purge America of useless eaters.

Trump blatantly lies and cooks the books claiming America drowns in prosperity.  The truth is that America is in deep trouble, and Trump is the biggest useless eater of them all.  And this deranged non compos mentis fool does not have any idea at all how the world actually works.  If he ever had a clue, he does not now.  I do not think he ever had a clue.  The bombastic ignore clues.  Bombast obscures insight.  Bombast defines Trump.
