Does anyone have a good explanation to why they continue to produce trash that costs hundreds of millions of dollars? Aren't they just flushing money down the toilet? I'm sure writing a good story is hard, but it's not like i

Why do the British put up with this? Are they just docile and subservient by nature? Did turning the old working class into an underclass eliminate the only political faction with balls?
