@tarenceray Maybe it’s similar to Hoover encouraging consumer spending to overcome the depression attempting to restore faith in the collapsing economy. But even then, not nearly as insulting as the abject denial of economic suffering by the current administration
@tarenceray at best they r lying to themselves, or worse it’s a poorly calculated gamble that enough people r insulated enough by their wealth to believe the lie, if not for the sake of convincing themselves justifying their place in the system then certainly in performance of their ‘virtue’
