The capitalist elite spent decades hollowing-out blue collar fields in the US and now they are turning to do the same to white collar jobs and assholes like this exist to ensure you never ever find solidarity with each other against the people who actually fucked you over.

Complete devastation for an entire close-knit community. No tears, no 4,000-word eulogies in WaPo, no hyperventilating on Twitter. Anonymous suffering, broken families, people forced to uproot their lives just to survive.
The overeducated, overpaid, overvalued, overprivileged activists-disguised-as-journalists who spent years whipping up climate hysteria and fomenting racial division while destroying the reputation of a once-great American newspaper have no idea what devastation looks like.
Good luck with your Substack, Ashley.
