And when retirement and savings funds are burnt up, oh that’s just too bad for all you poor people who didn’t save for a rainy day.

Time for plumbers to rise up!

    This is a perfect moment to note:

    Unlike socialism or capitalism, fascism does not stipulate a specific economic system. However, there are some qualities that are consistently found under fascist systems, chief among which are a sort of “revolving door” between government and business, such that leaders in one field exert influence or even hold positions in the other as well, the (not coincidental) broad concept that what’s good for business is automatically good for the country, and the socialization of investment, risk and loss, while keeping profits entirely private.

    Or in other words, exactly what’s happening here.
