Long time ago I used to work with property developers. There was a big fire in a building. It was on the radio. Right after we had a meeting with these guys. One guy entered laughing about it. He was bragging how they had totally ignored fire regulations and nothing was done correctly. His boss shussed him, nodding to us, not to talk like that in public.
Another developer, on a different project, was talking how in France they invented the holiday home when the government introduced the 13th month salary. He bragged about how shitty the construction was (“you could simply punch your fist through the wall”).
That’s the kind of people that run the states now. Getting rich and bragging about who is best at ripping off people. Like this video of a wealthy guy showing off a mountain of presents under a christmas tree and addressing the camera with “See this, you poor fucks, you’ll never get this” <laughter in the background>
