Just like the UK, it always has been. It really screws with the narrative of billionaires trying not to pay for the health, infrastructure and welfare that allows them to extract their wealth.
The first rule of colonisation is to make the colonised pay for their colonisation. It's just that we all, collectively, forget that our governments colonise at home too.
Thats crazy because rich people keep telling me low tax on them funds growth and helps everyone.
I mean, why would rich people lie?
We got football, pints and coke for that, mate
Wait a minute
Youd be hard pushed to find many who weren't
You feel better now?
And it'll happen to you one day too

Are you trying to tell me that the spirit of capitalism won't return to us, dressed in the splendor of new technology, to absolve us of our past planetary transgressions, and take us to a new, perfect place amongst the stars where we will live in profit and harmony for ever?
Well, thats the second time I've fallen for that story......
That's basically what I meant but you fleshed it out more.
Yeah, there probably is more that can be tried and maybe I'm being unkind to the format. Its not the formats fault.

No one can take a risk and everything has to be as similar to the things that made money before, as possible. Everything has to be aimed at as wide an audience as possible, inevitably pleasing no one.
Until then, you know, you just have to be true to yourself because, if you're not being true to yourself, you'll be living a lie.
In the end you've just got to remember that it is what is and you've got to what you've got to do. You gotta do your thing you, know?
So just be you but a you that's true to yourself while going with the flow and bossing it your way, all the way.
Most of all, be lucky.
