      XPost: alt.culture.alaska, alt.appalachian, alt.politics.democrats.d       XPost: soc.culture.african.american       From: bksherman@twitter.com              U.S.—Sick and tired of dealing with all this prosperity, the       nation has decided that it will try socialism for a while,       sources confirmed Friday.              Thousands of people across the nation reported that they were       weary of just constantly creating more and more capital and       lifting millions of people out of poverty. They're so fed up       with the successes of capitalism that they want to try something       else for a few decades and see how it shakes out---something       radically different like a failed economic system that has       killed millions.              "Our generation has never really known prosperity," wrote one       woman on Twitter. "And by that, I mean that we are so steeped in       prosperity that we don't even know what it means to be poor. So       I really think it'd do us some good to just kinda turn the clock       back on economic progress and see how we like it. Who knows, it       just might suit us."              "To be honest, I grew up on Dunkaroos and Fruit Roll-Ups, and       I'm just really kinda sick of those tbh," she wrote. "Let's try       an economic system that doesn't have any food instead."              At publishing time the nation's millennials were having second       thoughts upon learning that socialism results in waiting in       lines longer than ones in front of an Apple store for basic       necessities like food and water.              https://babylonbee.com/news/sick-and-tired-of-all-this-       prosperity-nation-to-try-socialism-for-a-while                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
