Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Americans can’t afford food and they can’t afford health care. We are in a cost-of-living crisis of Republicans’ making and we must address it now – not at a later, undisclosed date.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
