    Is it, though? Has the system been keeping us down, or are the ppl in charge just stupid and greedy? Assigning intent makes the unfairness sting less.

      This is a false choice, it’s both. Not all of them are (or were) stupid. But the system is intentionally like this because people are greedy. For money and power.
