The west is quickly turning into the 3rd world. So, don't speak too soon.
We brought the same extractive mindset home. Instead of letting some wealth accumulate in the pockets of the western middle and working class now our oligarchs want to pocket it all, while also trying to pin the blame on immigrants and people living overseas.
Quote:
An oligarch, a worker, and an immigrant approach a table with 1000 cookies.
The oligarch takes 999 cookies and tells the worker, watch out, that immigrant wants to steal your cookie.
The worst part is, a lot of people are dumb enough to fall for it.
