Oh, we've already seen it. I believe Fox News has already come out and said it's "patriotic" to pay higher egg prices.

We live in a post-fact world. There are no principles in play. The key organizing principle of this society is cruelty. Truth is simply what powerful people say it is.

And there's no opposition to any of it. Our supposed political opposition is way more interested in crushing progressive sentiment and voices within their party. They are completely complicit in what's now going on.

Fox - remarkably - were explaining that it would in fact make most things much, much more expensive.

I think support is ambivalent, at best.

A few people are going to short hard and make out like bandits. But all-party social unrest on a huge scale is going to kick off long before they can fulfil their dream of buying up the entire country for pennies.

Cooler heads understand this.
