    Inequality doesn’t just turn up out of nowhere.

    Why would anyone post this? Of course it didn’t just turn up out of nowhere.

    What it is, and what I expect people with a modicum of knowledge of the English language to understand it as, is vaguely gesturing at the overall situation and saying “this thing here that be the way it do”.

    That quoted phrase you have there is pure hot nonsense.

        I know you think you’re the smartest person on Earth giving unthinking Americans lessons or something but you haven’t taught me a damned thing here at all except what the German word for neoliberal is.

        (But, I know, don’t dare call them that!!! 😡🤬 😤)

        😆

        Separately, even frequent users of the habitual be wouldn’t write a sentence like that.
