It’s hard to influence anyone to “destroy the structure”, they think they need it. However the “vast inequality” gets support from at least half the population

  • Everyone wants better schools, even those misguided enough to micromanage schools in their own image.
  • Everyone wants the workers they know to be treated fairly, even if they can’t apply that to the general Population and believe unions are wrong
