Yeah I think they realized at a certain point that accurate unemployment numbers are just bad for the stock market so we can’t have those lol. That is really funny though, I hope I get to see Greece someday.

I feel like one of the things I’m always trying to beat my lib friends and family over the head with is the idea of America cultural hegemony. The only reason I say this is because that’s almost exactly what it feels like here too, atleast as far as the liberal media goes. It’s so hard to get Americans to understand how tied up the political and economic situations of the rest of the world are in our stupid fucking democracy and in fucking Wall Street. That was so important for me to understand the Cold War, a war basically waged through cultural hegemony. And I still forget sometimes too, thanks for reminding me how real this shit will get all over the world when Wall Street tanks. o7
