Does anyone reading this segment really believe they've been enjoying a 'free lunch' for the last 30 years??
Allison Schrager, a genius (Senior Fellow) at Bloomberg, has jumped on the 'inflation ain't so bad bandwagon'. This is the new emerging narrative to convince Progressives that the Biden shitshow is totally awesome before the midterms. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-06-22/inflation-ate-your-free-lunch-but-you-re-still-better-off?cmpid=socialflow-facebook-view&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-view#xj4y7vzkg
"Believe it or not, we live in the best of times.... generally, most people experienced huge gains in living standards. We shudder to think what life was like in the 1980s or 90s, when air-conditioning was still a luxury as were dishwashers; people had to defrost their freezers, we were tied to landlines, and homes had only one or two televisions — and they weren’t even flatscreens."
This is total bullshit that can only be believed by people too young to have actually lived in the 80's-90's and too lazy to check the facts. Generally, most people have NOT experienced huge gains in living standards. Why doesn't Twitter cancel Bloomberg for lies and mis-information??
I do NOT shudder to think about how primitive we were in the 80's. I assure you....we had air-conditioning, dishwashers, frost-free freezers, jet travel and vacations in the Caribbean. It's true that we were mostly tied to landlines... I got my first cell-phone in 1990 and it was a satchel that weighed as much as a cement block. OMG, we didn't have flatscreens.. the horror! How did we survive TV before flatscreens? SUCK IT UP UNGRATEFUL PEASANTS. You've had a free lunch for far too long.. ... AND IT HAD TO END SOMETIME. |
