I have a hard time thinking of money as personal property. It’s a social value store not a personal one. A dollar is toilet paper if enough people quit caring.

Also you seem to ignore how much protectionism the elites get, while calling Redditors out as needing protection.

The Senate itself was intended by Madison to protect the rich. So we’ve accepted protectionism from themselves is fine when “them” is a rich person.

Oh the economy crashed because the bubble you all made burst? Well here’s a huge transfer payment to try again.

There’s no explicit mechanism, but our politicians read this and study it. Academics know, and consider the Constitution an aristocratic document, protecting elite power.

See it’s bailouts and tax cuts for the rich, and inequality, wage stagnation for the masses. The emotional programming for that comes from somewhere.

The laws of physics only dictate who is economically advantaged in that they dictate how our brains work. And our brains are then easily emotionally manipulated into believing bullshit.
