Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Politicians hide themselves away

They only started the war

Why don’t they go out to fight

They leave that all to the poor

JFC, the guy's been prime minister only since March. "Make-or-Break Budget"? Getting a little FOX-y, eh, CBC?

Cartoon:

Trump and Xi facing each other at a line labeled β€˜trade’.

Trump bounces a tiny pebble off Xi’s head with a slingshot.

Behind Xi stands a massive catapult loaded with a huge boulder.

If you’re still willing to give the US your money, all your personally identifiable information, and your fingerprints just to avoid cold weather for three monthsβ€” I’d argue you’ve had enough sun already.

I’m in the UK, but I follow American
news closely because what happens in
the U.S. affects democracy everywhere.
Over time, I’ve learned to be careful about
where I get my news. That’s why I turn to
@meidastouch.com Honest reporting.
No spin. Truth matters.
