I always laugh at posts like these, not because I think you're a retard or anything, but because there's so much hypocrisy in it. >To fix this, the upper echelons, the stakeholders, would have to begin to replace the middlemen, with demographics that are not destabilizing or self-destructive and exploitive. There are very few if any humans alive that fit this mold, you're reaching for a pipe dream. If the ones at the top cannot serve as an example for the ones supporting them, there can be no trust. Thus long term outlooks become impossible, because of that lack of trust, the focus becomes on securing the present.
