I just saw The Big Short yesterday. While I did, prior to seeing the film, understand how the financial crisis of 2008 went down, being reminded of it was not good for my blood pressure. It also made me despair. I don't think there's any way, short of a rehash of the 1930s, complete with being being shot by police during labor strikes, of the working or middle class getting anything back that the rich have taken from them in the past 40 years.

That said, it's a good movie. Go see it. And then take a lot of deep breaths after.
