They are not even pretending at this point.

There's been no consequences yet, so why would they pretend?

Won't be consequences until labor organizes a general strike or we suddenly gain class consciousness in this country and organize militarily.

I have little hope for either but work every day for both. Would rather try and fail then not take any action.

Got tired of being a Doomer. Had to kill that part of me.

I haven't treated CNN in years but I'm going to trust them even less now.

Does this mean that when CNN says, "It's raining." I will still need to put my hand out the window?

Weather forecast are significantly less easier to predict than what the daily narratives of the capitalist class will be.
