Bitter? Um, a bit. I might be jobless come Christmas so I’m mighty peeved about the shitty divide between the rich and those who work their balls off to pay rent each month. Bitter? Um, a bit.

Here, state-side, we have auto executives flying in on their personal jets to DC to beg congress for billions-upon-billions in welfare to "save" their mismanaged industries for the benefit of their mostly-wealthy stockholders (and for the inept execs to keep their jobs). The piss trickles down into poor people's boots. Of course, the execs are trying an end-around to avoid our GOOD, SOPHISTICATED bankruptcy laws that would quite properly wipe out the stockholders and allow the industries to function with the banks holding all the stock. The rich get richer and the poor get screweder. In the mourning, in the un-evening. Ain't we got fun (and no funding). Ya!
