The government should have been taxing the Corporations that made enormous profits from the surplus value their employees generate and then requiring said Corporations to invest annually in pensions matched to Cost-of-Living indexes.

In the US, instead we got 401ks so the poors are required to cheer the stock market and pretend they're temporarily embarrassed Capitalists, rather than the scornful reality of being wage-slaves.

Not to mention, they're syndicating shows that have all of the budget allocated to visual "dazzle," and almost nothing for the quality of writing/plot. Which means even if people watch once, they're not going to return to watch again and again.

Amazon refuses to understand, or is incapable of understanding, that stories and developed characters are what drive human engagement, not flashy visuals. A well-written show of stick figures could out perform most of their dreck.

Economics is a faith-based sham with an overlay of mathematics to give it substance. It should only be taught along with other bogus fields in schools of theology.
