Britain feels simultaneously strict and lawless. It's strange, but it's hard to imagine things turning out any other way in this country.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoThe US and other places can be like that too. Strict if you have something to lose, but not enough to protect yourself. Lawless if you have nothing to lose, or enough to protect yourself. So bottom 20% and top ~5% to 10% are golden, middle 20% to 60% are hoping (dreaming?) to make it up a few deciles, and 60% to 90% are hoping to make it to top 10%. And until they make it there, they have to dot their i’s and cross their t’s.
