I suppose you oppose parodies of the trickle-down theory of economics and every other absurdities for the same reasons: They are taught and accepted right now.

Yes, so much absurdities going on! Some are becoming the norm again! We are witnessing unbelievable stuff, such as Trump, to mention but one absurdity!

I don't like the look of some of those boulders. I suppose you'd have to be unlucky to get squashed. But if there was an earthquake, I'd be shitting myself on that road.
