And it was both a micro and a macro story at the same time of like this promise that we were raised with no longer really exists.

And, um,

It was actually like, to be honest, in 2010, it's such like a random thing.

But in 2010, when these George Bush tax cuts for like the wealthiest people got extended.

Damn.

Also under the Obama administration, right?

And it wasn't, you know, this was like a, you know, before everyone gets into like the partisan, like you're anti-Democrat, like it's just what happened, right?

You're a normal person looking at this, watching the system.

And then it was like Citizens United passed and the Supreme Court was like, yeah, money is speech, corporations have at it.

I was like, we, and we all were like, this was a story.

This was all a lie.

A lie.

At the same time, like working people are still raised and we still hold those values of working your ass off to like make it work and to make things happen for yourself.

And yet.

Miracles can still happen.

And this is still America.
