    You’re speaking purely political voting when you say there is no mechanism to change this. That is intentional. As is the hope it will change sometime soon politically. Hope like winning the lotto is important. It keeps the peasants from rising up.

    People have been in simular or worse situations all throughout history with no mechanisms to change it and they changed it. They are very few and we are many. They don’t stand a chance. I’ve been waiting my whole life with the same hope of political change just around the corner that never comes. In my 40 years here it has only gotten worse.

    Every one of these people have cooks and gardeners and house staff. This change isn’t difficult but it does take a spine to do it and to care more about the common good than your life and freedom.
