#1 Generational warfare. Making us fight with one another to make sure we don't notice it's really the powerful that are fucking our lives up.

#2 hummmmm! Who would really be to blame?

Minimum wage 200%+ percent jump.
Fuel and energy up 50% to 100% prices.
Delivery costs up 200%
Poor handling of the economy.
Poor handling of the Pandemic.
Whole hog legal abuses of the DOJ for political reasons
Promoting social upheaval.
Pushing a false climate agenda to disrupt economy issues.
Added another $1.4T (2022) to the already $32T deficient.


BTW: Wasn't Fortune Mag purchased back in 2018-19 by Chatchaval Jiaravanon, a Thai Billionaire, I wonder what his political donations look like.

#6 /\ But, to put things bluntly, most Americans don’t care how things are done in Luxembourg. Or France, or Germany, or Belgium, or most other continental European countries.

Yes, I'm in the.... "don't care" group.

#10 That would be Congress and The President, so yes.

Those missing workers are not just causing the ’help wanted’ signs to linger, but are actually making it harder to tame sky-high inflation levels," Fortune spewed.

Oh, so its 80 year olds not working the fryer and not the wilted youngsters living off the dole. Fuck you, Fortune.

#14 "most Americans don’t care how things are done in Luxembourg. Or France, or Germany, or Belgium, or most other continental European countries."

Most Americans under 40 can't locate Europe on a map, let alone Germany or Belgium!

#17 Why should I care what goes on in Luxemburg, France or whatever, last time I checked I don't live there. There is a reason why Britain wanted out of the EU.

#18 Why should I care about 'how they do it™' in a [insert list of foreign places]? Because the writer at Fortune does? Try again, Cupcake.

#19 SO it is clear there are zero editorial adults at fortune mag. The millennials have had it all given to them, they are the most entitled generation in American history. Now, after they moved from their parents home, they want their aged parents that have supported them into their 40's to go to work at McDonalds so they can eat out and not have to cook at home. A skill they never cared to learn. They are not ther millennial generation, they are the worthless, self absorbed, and spoiled generation. Someone get them a trophy...
