Reply #7: Well, a depression would be a good thing, wouldn't it? [View All]

I mean, we'll suffer and many of us will die. But the whole point of our problems is that the megacorporations and the rich don't think they can be hurt, that they are invulnerable.

Get hungry mobs of people, evicted from homes and jobs and their families and PISSED OFF, and let's see how long they will feel safe. They may realize that they can't avoid responsibility and they will have to let reforms happen, the way they did in the Great Depression.

It's the primary rule of politics; nothing extraordinary happens until a bunch of people die.
