7/ American's DON'T dislike the product. People love Joker and Inception and a dozen Wes Anderson movies and Cohen Brothers films. There is so much great content out there. You're looking at $100 million studio films and turning up your nose. Tedious. https://twitter.com/PhilthyPhil2012/status/1302982034885758979 …

Exactly. Folks look at charming houses that were owned by financial elites (e.g. Amsterdam trading families, or minor nobility) in 1890, compare it to their own heated and A/C apartments that they, as middle class people, can trivially afford in 2020, and complain re capitalism
