are we going to see and hear about the relationship between the bank failure and the train derailments? So people understand that they both came from deregulations...brought to us by Donald Trump and the GOP.
Seems we need to see and hear this over and over in every media.

(10,828 posts)I've read several pieces and tweets pretty much saying: whoa, before you get your Biden outage on take a look at the dates and the deregulation facts. For railroads and financial houses, etc.
I'm also beginning to pickup comments about the disparity of Wall St. howling about how the banks should be bailed out (Larry Summers, please take a bow) but how student loan forgiveness is a sure route to financial disaster.
It's beginning to seep through but needs to be on loudspeaker.

(14,570 posts)we must all educate people about the perils of deregulation. The problem is that this country worships its own golden idol - the Wall Street bull. It is all about greed, envy, and lust for wealth. This is why the GOP has been so careful to tie the term 'job killing' to all regulations. It is the trickle down economics that dirtbags like von Mises, Hayek, Friedman, James Buchannon and others - their object is to systematically transfer the world's wealth into fewer and fewer hands, leaving the rest of us short.

(662 posts)Corporations and investors see the world in quarterly bites. Every quarter has to be better than the last quarter. Maximizing stockholder value and profits is the only corporate goal to the detriment of everything else. Corporations will do virtually anything to accomplish those goals. So they buy the Congress, a Trump and SCOTUS, the system hums along and everyone else gets screwed.

We'll see it here, and other "preaching-to-the-choir" sites. The inattentive public will probably be told it's Biden's fault and believe that.
