Perusing articles for a bit, came across a WaPo doozy projecting 70’s style “stagflation” on the horizon — and preemptively blaming expectations of wage increases by organized labor (???) for it, as if people are supposed to happily accept the same money when it gets less of such frivolous items as food, gas, and lighting not made of wax.

As bad as that is, it’s at least understandable: the type of people the mainstream media consider to be Serious hold a worldview that doesn’t match up with reality because reality doesn’t pay their bills. They’re going to portray it that way, they have no choice due to their positions. Us plebes, however…

Sadly, people have the capacity to do really fucking stupid things when they’re justifiably frustrated.  And no, I’m not talking about the Superman costume, though that did them no favors.  Bitching at gas stations about the price is about as helpful as addressing a gunshot wound by guzzling Robitussin.
