There’s been a few hot topics this week, from Obama’s final speech as president to the amusing allegations of Donald’s pee fetish.
Let’s start with Obama. The era of hope and change most certainly ended with a whimper. Not much has changed and we don’t have much to hope for either.
Over the last eight years income disparity increased in the US (despite White House claims to the contrary), real wages plunged, and while productivity increased, hourly pay didn’t budge much. America’s obtuse wars in the Middle East rage on, and our country’s drone program is operating at full tilt. Obama also extended many of the nation’s most egregious energy policies.
In fact, Obama celebrated America’s biggest oil boom in decades. How’s that for battling climate change?
