#BipartisanTrickleDown: Defining #poverty as a #cultural rather than an #economicproblem comported with the #ColdWar #propaganda that extolled an American #wayoflife in which the promise of #endlessgrowth had supposedly overcome class tensions

can't just ditch responsibilities here, so will have to get creative about new income
OR, somehow trigger the arrival of #EndStageCapitalism and get everyone on #GuaranteedBasicIncome
find a new job, or bring down the system?
