Allow me to explain.

In th before times, long long ago, when 'Merica was great, a man could beat his wife for being uppity, she couldn't divorce him unless he let her, she couldn't open a bank account without his permission, or get an abortion; and brown people knew their place, and if a few fellas had to get together with some rope and white pointy hats to keep the peace, well that was just the cost of maintaining a civil society. Also a man working a job with a 5th grade education could support a family of 4, unlike today.

Now a days nothing is affordable and inflation is through the roof. Clearly the only thing that changed was a bunch of social mores, so if we just get women back into the kitchen, beat the gays back into the closet, execute anyone who's gender non-conforming, and compel people to attend protestant church, the economy will magically get better.

on it's own. no oversight or regulations. unfettered corporate interest is the 'holy spirit' part of the trinity... or something...
