...and damn, I'm getting flasbacks from the Bush administration. I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was THAT bad. It's like everything they were accusing Obama of doing is exactly the kind of crap they were doing.
It was really interesting to read his thoughts on conservatives as well. I don't know if I agree with all of it, but I think his critiques of liberals is pretty spot on...especially when he was saying that a lot of them "experience" poverty and discrimination on a purely academic level.
One thing that really stumped me in Griftopia was something called a "put option." Maybe my brain just isn't wired for this kind of stuff and all the explanations I was reading seemed to be missing something...really frustrating.
