Given government schools that don't educate, but indoctrinate nice tame
drones, this is to be expected.

I'm rereading a very interesting book that discusses the evolution of
societies as they go from decentralized agrarian and militaristic to
centralized societies controlled by the financial interests which shows
this same thing has been happening since the early days of Rome and Greece.

Anybody in the high-tech fields should see the parallels where companies
start up with very competent technical folks, grow, then are taken over by
the Vulture Capitalists who then run the companies into the ground.
