(872 posts)The top 1% will be in the Upper-Upper Class, all the other 99% will be crushed into the Lower-Lower Class.
I hadn't read the Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck since the 8th Grade & didn't remember much.  So I re-read it recently and it frightened me immensely.
If we think the current "homeless" are an issue, people haven't read about the "Hooverville" massive communities in the Great Depression. Steinbeck writes about the DAILY existence of a family in one of the Hoovervilles, and all the masses there with them.........
At the rate Trump, Steven Miller(2025), and Russell Voght are accelerating things more every day, I think by Christmas/New Years a major amount of the 99% are going to get hammered royal.  If not by then, certainly by next spring..........I know several people permanently laid off from their Federal Government employment, and a large number of others, sweating every day that passes that they will get thrown to the wolves also......
And that will lead to a cascading domino effect, that will spread far and wide through the entire economy, just like the Republican's Tariffs have done already.
Join me in getting Dems to say REPUBLICANS, rather than just saying TRUMP.  The REPUBLICANS & Corporations are what put him in power, and are keeping him in power.......they don't like that he is a loose cannon and goes off all the time, but he serves their purpose by providing the Republican owned/operated mass media something to report on, vs all the shit the Republican Party is doing in the shadows, behind smoke an mirrors......
Every single Republican in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court backs him 100%.......if they didn't, Trump wouldn't have lasted a day in the White House and out of Leavenworth or Colorado Super Max Prison.....
