The stupidity of people in the mid-lower / working class does not get cured. As comedian Ron White says, “you can’t fix stupid.” I say this having been one of those “future millionaire” delusional people who had a mid-life health crisis yank my sorry ass from dream-ville to reality in the here-and-now very fast, so don’t take offense, I’m calling myself what I was.

If you can avoid that kind of situation and still pull yourself into a frame of mind that doesn’t think of where you’ll be in the future, good for you - you beat the odds. I still know plenty of people from my previous jobs who are counting on that great business idea to pan out. It never does.

Absolutely correct. Thank you so very much. Democrats need to unfuck themselves and actually communicate this.

Awesome assessment and one of many reasons why all of us need to be all in on pushing against this regime at every opportunity possible.
