We've been suffering for decades from the failed on concept of Reagan's trinkle down. I bought into it like others did, but it does not work.
The pandemic just focued a light on the problem.
And, conspiracies exist because people are not educated to do research. Confirmation bias is killing us.
I cannot be okay if others are not okay. My late uncle used to joke about the man who died in a silo looking for a corner to sh*^. Or, my late manager who defined insanity as doing the same things expecting a different outcome. It is way past due to do something different and DT is not the answer, folks. He truly isn't.
It's easy to make assertions of opinion and characterize them as fact.
Please relate your experience with these European models. I lived in Germany for 10 years, before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the privatization of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. What about the "European" train system should be brought here? How does the German education or health system work? Is it the same as the French, Italian, or Danish model?
Please explain Reagan's "trickle down" concept, and how it failed.
How did the pandemic focus a light on the problem (and what problem are you talking about exactly?).
You're a ill tempered old coot, aren't you? LOL!!
Most of us know your're not interested in conversation and worse never respond to anything provided. Confirmation bias is your middle name.
That said, yes, I am expressing an opinion and YMMV.
The trinkle never happened. That's why there is disparity in case you hadn't noticed. Oh, you didn't!!
The pandemic demonstrated the vulnerabilty of the most needy.
Trumpism is a cult with its members trying to out lipstick on a pig. It only makes them look stupid.
