Capitalist Realism

 


Friends, a very happy Labor Day to you, one and all!  This Labor Day, it's worth reflecting on the considerable wage gains that workers have made since DJT took office (for the second time).  Plus, there are now several million more native-born Americans working for a living in the private sector than there were in January, while the number of government workers and immigrant workers has fallen.  How's that for a pleasant change?  You asked for AMERICA FIRST, and you got it!

In other news, President Trump has challenged Big Pharma to prove the effectiveness of their COVID vaccines.  Skepticism about the vaccines, especially of the mRNA variety, has been building on the right for years, and it appears that the RFK point of view is rising all the way to the top.  As a doctor of philosophy, I frankly don't know what to think about any vaccine, but I do want such public health decisions to be made on the basis of genuine science, not corrupt backroom deals.

Should nutjobs be confined to the nuthouse?  Maybe so, says President Trump, although most insane asylums were closed long ago, basically as a cost savings measure.  You know what's really cheap?  A lobotomy!  Don't knock it 'til you've tried it...

Finally, former Brazilian President Bolsonaro, a staunch conservative, is about to go on trial for plotting a coup to remain in power.  Gee, I wonder how the leftist Supreme Court will rule?
