Thank you. Every time someone says "The Economy™" as something that should drive policy instead of being an effect of it, I get a little twitch.

And yet whenever you try to bring this up you get folks from all sides of the political spectrum losing their shit.

There's a million questions involved in this statement. Who does the work required to grow and raise food? How do they survive? Is housing provided? What about the people working at the processing plants and truck drivers? Store clerks and security guards, etc. etc.

Perhaps socialism really is the solution.
