This was a rare event when, for once, elites would learn that it's possible to do everything right and still fail catastrophically due to systemic factors. This has been the case for the majority of people over the past decade. The only reason regular people accepted their own situation over the past decade is that they thought "rules are rules." But no, rules are not rules, it turns out. Only plebs need to take the consequences of silly or unjust rules. The elites are immune to unjust rules. When a pesky inconvenient rule affects the elites, it can simply be waived away. Why did I have to learn my lesson about the flawed system and the acceptance of tough luck, but politically-connected people didn't? What we have today is a 2-class society. It's the word of law above all... Unless you're politically connected; then suddenly the word of law yields to common sense.
