Our owner class here would, with their own two hands, slowly feed children into a wood chipper feet-first if it meant making a single penny. Most of the country can't pay attention, they're scrambling 24/7 to merely survive each day. The few who find a ledge to cling onto turn around and see the billionaires and the chippers, and instead of being disgusted, most start cheering it on because they've been lied to their whole lives. They've been told there is only enough ledge for them alone, and if more people "make it", they'll fall back down and be ripped apart. So they cheer and guide the travesties to secure their pittance, without ever looking up to see how much empty space there is.
