About black swans- the rural white poor who have been destroyed by neo-liberalism. The Reagan gang who pushed that agenda and those who followed fueled their anger and blamed ‘the other’ for their woes while enriching their owners and financiers. They use the cultural, racial and religious differences as diversion while fleecing the poor and marginalized among all groups.

The good news is that the young people are waking up to their effing scams.
