@breadandcircuses Not really. I get what you're saying. And mostly agree. But something here was left out. And it's very important.

Desperate people make ideal workers and distracted citizens,,,,to full on morons.

There's this idea in most countries that stupid people can't plan. Which isn't true. They can. They just can't plan effectively.

It's why fascism always has a natural expiration date. Why capitalism constantly has problems keeping itself afloat. Because the stupidity is built in.

Desperate people make the worst workers and citizens who can be manipulated by almost anyone. As in. The more desperate a person is the more mistakes they make in jobs. Which very often lead to not only the loss of life but categorically less profit.

And. That last part is literally how republicans/conservatives lost overall control of their party to trump to begin with. In general. Everything in this is reasons why so much sucks.

And it sucks because morons instituted it.
