the term "highway to hell" is common enough in english that you see it relatively frequently. it was also a mega hit by the australian shit-rock or doofus-metal band, ac/dc in...i'm on the internet. i wasn't sure if it was late 70s or early 80s. it was 1979.
this is what my brain does on me:
"i'm on the highway to hell" comes in as the familiar, horrid unison full band screetch and then...
"...and i've been workin' like a dawwwg!"
because it's true.
they're actually the same song.
as far as i can tell, what this report is talking about already happened and it's called thatcher-reaganism, or neo-liberalism.
