I watched him live on Tom Green's live stream from his living room during this era, right as he was hitting rock bottom.

He got out. And so can anyone else reading this.

I had years of employment yelling educated professionals and industry leaders: "No poop on ground." in as many ways as I could to get it across.

On more than one occasion I pointed at sewage "Poop", then at the ground, "Ground", and then "No." It got the job done more than data points about fecal coliform and ecoli contamination ever did.

I remember a time when a 4 mana card was a just a 3/3 creature.

And we lost track of all the rules and triggers of the cards on the table even back then.

She's helping by stabilizing amperage for the preferred penetration of voltage.

The big event was Reagan busting the air traffic control union. Union really busting took off afterwards since it was demonstrated the government would roll them for private sector interests. Unions that existed just became gutted of power and influence as a result and people stopped joining.

when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth

This was an important part that shouldn't be discounted since it was still at the core of the argument.

I don't really have a disagreement with what you're saying, but please note I said 'right wing base', which is predominantly working class.

Social democratic policies can be successful where class consciousness is lacking or suppressed.

It's a fairly decent strategy to placate the right wing base with social democracy. Even opponents of socialism can't deny that. I think that's part of its appeal.

It is ineffective when the rachet effect is in place, though. The neoliberal wing is more focused on maintaining that first and foremost.

I'm feeling very stuck right now and a little scared/worried that it's just going to be like this in perpetuity.

Hey kid, I could tell you some stories about when I felt the same, but I'll cut right to it: It's normal to get stuck in life. But it's never like that in perpetuity. Nothing lasts forever, including that feeling of inertia.
