The Simpsons Did It.

Over the last two and a half decades The Simpsons have predicted many things, most notably the Trump presidency.  Being one of the longest running and most subversive television shows of all time, The Simpsons has tackled many of the most challenging social issues dealt with today.  This series of GIFs are a snapshot of these, ranging from the education system to issues of class disparity.  I want to reference the online, always connected world we live in, so the title of the series points to a a popular sub on reddit.com, r/thesimpsonsdidit.  This sub examines all the way The Simpsons has predicted the future.  My title does not reference the precognitive abilities the writers of The Simpsons possess, but how they have taken aim at social issues, especially in these trying times.

50 years ago, America’s biggest employer was General Motors, where workers made the modern equivalent of $50 dollars an hour. Today, America’s biggest employer is Walmart, where the average wage is eight dollars an hour. … And Walmart released their annual report this month, and in it was the fact that most of what Walmart sells is food. And most of their customers need food stamps to pay for it. Meanwhile, Walmart’s owners are so absurdly rich that one of them, Alice Walton, spent over a billion dollars building an art museum in Bentonville, Arkansas… And she said about it, “For years I’ve been thinking about what we can do as a family that can really make a difference.” How about giving your employees a raise, you deluded nitwit?
