Hard Rain: The Progressive Principle of Collective Punishment
This week, super-compassionate, deeply caring progressive David Atkins (of Hullabaloo) read a story in the New York Times about farmers in the “Deep South” suffering from ruined crops after weeks of unusually heavy rains. The farmers face economic disaster not only from the loss of this summer’s crops, but also from the effects that the swampy weather is likely to have on fall crops as well. This follows last year’s ravaging droughts, which also left many farmers with ruinous losses. But super-compassionate, deeply caring progressive David Atkins doesn’t give a damn about these farmers, or their families, or their communities.
