Yep, you are dead right. This is also why Trump's tariffs work with so many people. Its not immediately obvious where the problem is. Same goes for the minimum wage and most regulations. There's a reason why we are in the position we are in right now. Demagoguery works really well when you have an uneducated populace. Especially when they don't realize how ignorant or propagandized they have become.

I realize that statements like this can seem arrogant but I say this coming from a place of realizing I WAS PROGRAMMED and believed many falsehoods. I was mal-educated and I'm still deprogramming myself.
