Fantastic write up of how Reagan destroyed the American middle class by allowing corporations to behave badly.

For example:
"Before Reagan, CEOs who executed share buybacks just to artificially inflate stock prices could go to prison.
FDR criminalized share buybacks in the early 1930s because they’re simply a form of stock price manipulation and were one of the main reasons for the stock market crash of 1929 that kicked off the Republican Great Depression."

@starlily "Allowing corporations to behave badly"? ffs. "How Reagan destroyed the middle class as planned and paid for the by the petro-powers and CIA." Maybe look at "House of Bush, House of Saud": theguardian.com/books/2004/jul

@phaedral Not sure what your issue is with me here. Reagan was a criminal in service to many interests.

@starlily No issue with you. Appreciate you! I thought the statement was too mild, but I'm sorry if you thought I was firing at you.

@phaedral thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it.
