^Way, way too late to warn him, he obviously made a steady diet of them, and smog, and arsenic in his water, and coal soot in his lungs, while showering in acid rain.
Seems like most are missing the oint of this toon. The point is that there’s not really any such thing as ‘poor’ in this country. A person can be ‘poor’ in this country and still have an apartment, car, food, schooling for their kids and an Xbox..That’s the upper class in most of the world..All this ‘recession’ is doing is bringing Americans back to reality…
^ an interesting thing about public libraries , then and now, folks go there to read newspapers, or go on the internet today , to look for jobs, often ANY jobs, just to “make it” day to day. The graybunny has a rather limited view of what’s really going on in America today, like folks with three jobs, on food stamps, in a one room apt with three kids, just trying to get by in an economy that collapsed under Republican policies, casting them adrift. That IS reality for many, but they are more easily ignored than in the 30’s, despite our increased “media” that happens to be controlled by the people who created the disparity.
