4. I'm still trying to find out what the specific objection against his line was?

Is using the word "buried" to describe "having no life and unable to get out from under living in a given situation" now considered to be a faux-pas?? How about "decimated" or "strangled"? Hey, how about decompressed? I wonder how many of the the neocons have ever watched a dog put into a tiny compartment at a shelter and then have the air sucked out until it dies? It is really a terrible way to have your life ended. But the spic and span euphemism that they use at the shelters to describe death by decompression is called euthanasia. That's it! Perhaps euthanasia is the word that the 1% would rather have us use to describe what they do to us?

Or is their objection that the statement, in and of itself, is just not true? If that is the case, then they really are living in denial.

If I were Joe Biden, I would use the word "buried" over and over again until I make those slimy bastards own it.
