That's a big part of the problem. We are gradually transforming our economy so that bigger and bigger chunks of it are run by people living in miserable conditions, driven there out of desperation. The media cheers it as giving another chance to disadvantaged, and goes out of their way to redirect the average person's ambitions away from accumulating wealth. And if you oppose it, they will just claim that you hate all those poor people, rather than disagreeing with the lowering of the average living standard. The end game is slums for everyone (except the ruling class of course).
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoYou are onto something here, I think. And it certainly does not help that driving was one of those few remaining jobs that did not require a lot of education. To me personally it seems like recipe for a disaster to basically prime a chunk of your population for an anger for being left behind by 'the rich', who set the system up to skim few more bucks from labor savings and "the poor", who are desperate enough to take their spots in those jobs.
