I'm sure it's all about protecting this and that and the other and saving lives and nothing whatrsoever to do with money.
I think "normal"/"average" people struggle to accept or even acknowledge the existence of the fact that their lives only matter to those that they matter to and that most people in positions of power would discard them without a thought (never mind second ones) if it meant they could grab that aforementioned insignificant bit more for themselves.
I also think a lot of the "spoilt", "lazy" and "entitled" kids also realise this on some level which is why they have such atrociously non-existent work ethic.
having said that my kids and the other people there go above and beyond at the not-for-profit centre we work for, though there are many times we question whether head office is worth that effort as they sometimes seem to forget that they're not-for-profit, and as far as I can tell my daughter puts in her best effort at the for-profit corporation she works for
On the bright side there is a shift, I don't think it can happen too much faster than it's going at the moment but I hope it's enough.
