    “Fuck you, I never had mine” is definitely one of the positions one could take.

      Ah… It’s fair? If wealth isn’t distributed well, blaming radical ideas will only fuel the fire. Solution is a much deeper one no one wants to invest into.

        I can call it a really stupid take while also acknowledging we need deep systemic change.

          I meant it’s fair from a common man perspective where the laws might protect you from corporate greed

            Burn the world down and build it back fresh and new. It’s a great strategy when you don’t ask who is building it back and what are their goals? Nobody should ever trust Trump or any other billionaire to be that person.

      Except we still live in ‘free’ market vibes based capitalism - where the profits are privatized, and the losses get socialized. If this tariff stupidity goes on, there will be some kind of bailout/grift like there always is. From PPP loans, sweetheart tax breaks, to liquidity bailouts for banks, the Fed will step in and Congress will have to do something to restore market and consumer confidence. Or else we all facetank turbo inflation, job losses, and stagnant wages in a new economic depression.

      If these NEETs were old enough to have been alive during the 2008 crash, they spent it playing Modern Warfare 2 and wondering why everyone else had big sad - after all, they still had vidya, porn, and tendies living at home.
