    Just take care of people. We can afford to.

    Sure we can, but we won’t, because to certain people in power the cruelty is the purpose.

    I mean the book is spot on, but taking care of people is socialism and that’s a dirty word nowadays.

    Plus scared and disconnected people buy more stuff so we suffer for the sake of capitalism.

      It helps them to have an enemy to blame for whatever. They move the target a lot, but the poor are in the worst position to fight back. And the powers that be don’t want a fair fight; they want to punch down and then brag about how right they were and that that’s why you should re-elect them. Because they’re sociopaths.
