I hate video games, but to be fair a lot of them are way less rigged than the current economy so I can see why people just settle into them and abandon everything else. In a video game you invest time, you build skill, you get results, and it's fairly linear. You eventually hit some sort of escape velocity with regards to your skill and results.

In real life, it's like playing against people who are using hacks 24/7. You just made 1,000 gold? Well that's convenient because your sword has 1,000 gold in maintenance fees, now go back into the dungeon! The system prices itself and adapts in direct accordance with your income and skill level and worst of all, it does it blatantly. It's pure nigger tier.

From the perspective of the financial elites, anyone making too much money represents an opportunity to peel a piece off and pay someone else less. In other words, let's say you're a day trader and you're somehow miraculously profitable. In the eyes of the financial elites that's unacceptable and you either aren't paying enough taxes, aren't paying enough commissions, or your data isn't being sold to the right person for enough money and exploited. Now apply that to every single profession in existence.

"Oh you're a physician? Well that's too easy to make money. Clearly medical schools aren't expensive enough. Let's jack up the price and just loan people money so we can peel a piece off that sweet medical salary." "Oh you're starting a business? Profitable??? Well here's the exorbitant interest rate we're going to charge to leverage your process...we just want to wet our beaks." On and on and on it goes. There should absolutely be blood in the streets and there will be, once everyone catches on.

Better shine the spotlight on another gunned down minority to keep people distracted!
