You did not get your trickle down yet?

[–] echo 8 points 5 months ago

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.

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.
