    That’s a chance I’m willing to take since the status-quo is already failure.

        Oh there was plenty of trickle, but not the kind that was promised.

      Failure? Most of the world’s people are much, much poorer than even poor Americans, so things could be better but they also certainly could be a lot worse.

        And that is the Trump and capitalist goal… to take that little bit the American poor still have.

      How so? It seems like a basic “money can be exchanged for goods and services” sort of thing and I don’t see any connection between it and a source’s reliability or lack thereof.

        Then call it a free market decision. Or caveat emptor. Show me your wares…no? Okay, then.

        If one of the most ‘well funded by billionaire investors’ rags needs a paywall to produce goods, those goods are clearly not worth purchasing or otherwise viewing.
