I grew up on Chicago's Southside. Gang violence, drugs, etc.
My family lost our home when I was a kid. I was homeless on and off in my late teens. Charlotte comes from prosperity but can't recognize it, she wants more than she already has and now embraces socialism to get it twitter.com/CharlotteAlter… | |
Now this is truly palm-bang-on-forehead crazy.
Charlotte Alter is 29 years old, a featured and rising writer for Time magazine and other media. She lives with her parents in ritzy Montclair, New Jersey. Montclair has a median household income of $US124,000 three times the $43,000 average for the US. Wikipedia describes Montclair's attractions, and you can imagine them, upper-class American, big houses, wide clean streets, sports facilities, arts centres, schools and playgrounds and Manhattan a stone's throw away.
Her family is no doubt even more wealthy than the median, as her father Jonathan, son of millionaire industrialists, is a best-selling author and film producer. He and his wife are well connected to the Democratic Party right up and into the Obama circle.
Charlotte's brother is a producer for HBO sports and her younger sister is a venture capitalist.
In short, she is the epitome of privilege and wealth.
Yet she thinks she has "never experienced American prosperity".
This is ugly and bizarre.
The reason I'm going in about this is that she and people like her are going to impact elections with their delusions of poverty and fascination with socialism. Like socialism is going to give them more. More for their poor, deprived selves.
It's crazy and it's sick.
Tim Poole who's recently been on Joe Rogan, grilling Jack Dorsey, and on Dave Rubin, is a wickedly smart young guy. He's Left, but not Ctrl-Left. Worth following through to his comments in Alter the Elder daughter.
[i hope I haven't been trolled here and Charlotte's doing irony. But I don't think so]
