            It’s not short sighted for the wealthy. Over the last 40 years, the wealthy have amassed massive amounts of income and wealth. It worked out great for them and the politicians that they purchase.

                I agree.

                The wealthy do not care about countries or borders. Once a land is pilfered, their wealth makes it relatively easy to find another place to live.

          Just before Covid it was in British news that austerity hadn’t worked (No shit…), so what did they do? More austerity. It’s fucking infuriating.
