The rich people have a lot to lose, so perhaps they never rest easy, worrying about the vast numbers of employees who [adding: who have little to lose, who] wish they could get their money [adding: which was siphoned off by the oligarchs in the form of too little paychecks for high-value labor] back.

And that reminds me that we were hearing that many self-inflicted life-ending acts have been due to "despair". I think that a significant portion of illicit drug use is a consequence of despair. Lifestyles of the rich and famous, while somebody near me is getting evicted. I think there is more than a little bit of psychopath at the heart of our capitalist economy.

On a tour of Scandinavian capitols, then another scheduled for their special “air. Conditioning,” I am so sympathetic, it was 108 degrees two days ago. I thought of the homeless on sidewalks that could fry an egg. “…there is more than a little psychopath at the heart of our capitalist economy.”
