Replying to you again because I addressed your latter point, but not the first. I absolutely agree there are things that could be changed to make life better for many people. However, you live in the present, under the rules as they are. And from there you gain leverage to change the future. Living as if the rules were different when they aren't just sets you up for failure. It's the whole idea of "be so good they can't ignore you".
