      It’s always held true for me. Malice - or forethought - require intelligence, something that’s in much shorter supply than anybody would believe.

      Stupid usually explains most everything adequately.

      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.
