“Capitalism has failed us all…”

*Remembering David Graeber*

and this is WHY the country is so sadly divided — we all know it; we see the writing on the wall with climate change and the COMPLETE LACK OF REAL action in this direction; and we all know the 1% ain’t gonna bail us out, so WE BLAME each other. Like any family will — “It’s YOUR fault! No, it’s YOUR fault!” Meanwhile, the planet burns, America’s democracy erodes (by the day!), and refugees flee their washed out homes, all over the world, and it ain’t gonna get any better! I think we all know this on gut level, but it’s too big, too tragic to take in, so we distract, deflect, buy $hit!

I heard this on a radio program few weeks ago. I’ve thought about THIS exact statement every day since I heard it. 50 years old and I’ve NEVER heard it put so concisely, so honestly.
