Also the fact that "a rising tide lifting all boats" was just a complete lie. Boats that are tied to the ground are sunk, and they shoot holes in the other boats.

They used very faulty metrics to determine economic health based off of a much earlier, non-speculative-gambling time and when companies were allowed to start blatantly scamming to inflate that bad metric, everyone said "it is working" when nothing had changed for 90% of the population.

Bloom County is an American comic strip by Berkeley Breathed which originally ran from December 8, 1980, until August 6, 1989. It examined events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk.

  1. This community is for Bloom County and associated media from 1980-1989, the life of the original strip.

  2. As this is a re live the media as it was released community, do not post strips that were released after the date of the most recent strip posted (the day's date in 1982 for 2025, 1983 in 2026 etc).

  3. Additional media posted should be limited to 3 items per day as to not spam. If you have more items to post beyond that add it to your post rather than making additional posts.
