Squeeze them until the pips squeak!

"It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail." - Gore Vidal

***


"You're playing Monopoly.
One player is given all the property except Whitechapel Road. They are also given 95% of the bank.

You are expected to succeed with what's left.

Of course, you lose immediately. Why? It must be because you're lazy."


If success is seen as a zero sum game like Monopoly where only one person can win, and you win by making everyone else bankrupt, it's no wonder that crippling the powerful and hurting the rich is seen as helping the powerless and poor.
