In #FEBRUARY 1932
A #breadline in New York City. In the absence of large-scale public relief programs, in many cities, privately-funded organizations distributed food to the hosts of the unemployed.

Ian stands in line for a bagel, the internet melts down **Ian Bremmer** responds to a viral backlash over his weekend photo joking about a “breadline” in New York City. Actually, a line of happy people waiting outside an artisanal bagel shop. * * * Many commenters erupted, some with humor and others with intense political anger. Ian walks through the most colorful reactions, why satire triggered so many people, and why he posted it in the first place. Drawing on his early career studying the Soviet Union, where real breadlines and real repression existed, Ian argues that humor is essential in a healthy democracy: “If Soviet citizens under true political control could still laugh, surely we can too.” He closes with an apology to those who were genuinely upset, and a promise that the humor isn’t going anywhere.

The BBB is a repeat of the bill Trump signed December 2017 in one important way: $4T+ of US taxpayer dollars will finance price manipulation via stock buybacks for their cronies to sell converted stock options into, and to manipulate the company stock price to trigger their bonuses (Think: Elon Musk). The difference is that this time there's no cover story as to why this giveaway is good for the economy. Last time the excuse was to spur hiring. It didn't. For 18 months, the unemployment rate returned to within a tenth of a percent of the rate it started at in December 2017.

Ds have had over 40 years to reverse RR's legalization of this price manipulation (though it wasn't until Trump that it became so costly to taxpayers). Meanwhile, we tack on $4T to the national debt each term that Rs holds the Executive. Isn't 40% of our federal income taxes servicing the interest of the national debt high enough? Do the Rs really need that to be higher? A worker needs to own three times his/her annual salary, roughly, to break even on what s/he pays in federal income tax toward debt interest.

Don’t miss the memorials in DC at night. It’s a whole different vibe. The FDR is especially moving.

"Depression Breadline" by George Segal, Roosevelt Memorial, Washington, DC—an eerie reminder of past hardships, yet more relevant today than anyone would hope. History echoes in the present. #prettypictures #arnespictures #photography #Georgesegal #Breadline #depression #currentaffairs #news #today
