No Other Niche

In diversity there is stability. Even Republicans know this. They know it about the stock portfolios they aspire to live off of--Republican nirvana. Still, they don’t care.

Republicans want there to be only one viable niche left—theirs. That is the imaginary niche of apex predators a generation or two removed from actually having to hunt.

They inhabit a restaurant where they are served endlessly for doing nothing. Productivity only soils the hands of losers. Republicans underpay, exploit and revile them.

Working niches are no longer viable. Therefore, none of it is viable. That is the Republican myth--that neverending exploitation, of people and resources, is sustainable.

Not that they really believe it. There is no "long run" for them. Religious conservatives hope for the end times. Rich capitalists think or hope they can weather anything.
