zzyzzx is deplorable says

It's because liberals, jews in particular, go to journalism school.

True. There's another component to this. Zuckerfuck, Sandberg, etc. have one thing more than just Bagels in common. They were born into the upper middle class/professional class. Grew up in ritzy housing, their parents portfolios and real estate holdings mushroomed in the 80s-90s when they were growing up, they like Indian and Thai food, Sushi everywhere (What they imagine with "Culture" and "Diversity"), to them "All Things Just Keep Gettin' Better". Only disgusting deliberately ignorant nasty people could be against liberalizing trade and deregulation and globalization.

You grow up in a high end North Egg environment, you've experienced the huge gains for the 1% but not the big smack down of the bottom 20% or stagnating wages (with rising "iron" - must haves - college & health costs) of the middle 40%. So to them everything is oakily-doakily. But when you live in the ever-more-Gentrified City Center, or the well maintained Greenbelt places like Greenwich, CT, you don't notice bad infrastructure. They also know few if anybody, except maybe some former JAG who was deep in the rear with the gear and became a corporate lawyer, in the military. They are insulated from the bad and see only the good.

They may "see" numbers on a chart, but it has no meaning for them when compared to this existential experience of ever increasing wealth, because they are from the top 10/1% and are in the top 10-1%.

Great. Very impressive ZZYZZX. YOu must be proud of yourself.
