Collapse related because when the rich tell the poor “the solution to inflation is tighten your belts” it means your country is fucked. Austerity, y’all.

    Thats IS EVEN STILL not enough, we need a seperate class of people outside the law who will work under even more extremem threat while having the finger pointed at them as the REAL problem in case anyone comes after our wealth.

      Damn, it’s a shame we don’t have something like people we can beat and starve while we force them to do the work for no pay at all. You could build an entire nation with that kind of labor!

      Yeah! A-a-and when that’s not enough, we can expand it, again and again, as much as we need to, until it does! Hey wait, you guys aren’t going to eat my face off… a-are you? :-P

      That’s been Russia’s model for millennia: “the reason you all have to starve is so we can stick it to those OTHER people over THERE - but keep it up, b/c we’re WINNING!”

      That did not work out so well for them, but hey sure, I guess we’re going to give it a try ourselves regardless…
