Let me fix that for you. This is all happening because the institutions in America failed to deliver for working-class people for over four decades, and Americans got fed up, elected a billionaire willing to be a bulldozer of those institutions and the systems that work for knowledge workers, twice.

American voters elected the people who ran those institutions, or appointed the leaders of those institutions.

I know we all want it to be some shadowy cabal so we can pretend the average person didn't cause this, but it isn't. We did this to ourselves.

Let me fix that for you. Billionaires conned working class into giving up everything for "low taxes". Working class suffered.

And then the same working class elected - get this - another billionaire conman - the same category that previously conned them.
