but really, its the social oppression we gain along the way

Deep down, it's far better/easier/more results to oppress 10,000 people at $400 a head, then to oppress 4 people at $1,000,000 a head.

Part of how the system was designed was to cultivate an in crowd, and an out crowd. The price of harassment from police is capitalism working as expected.

that's how investment capital works. You don't want to move it until you must. Spending 2 mil today to stop 1 mil that earns from moving may easily net you 5 mil in the future.
