People complain about the politicians, the bankers, the military-industrial complex etc. but imagine if those things weren't there.
Imagine for instance if there were no banks or financial institutions. Getting loans would be nigh-impossible even at the best of times and forget about online payments or debit/creditcards.
We call the US a police state but imagine if there was no police. Crime gangs would rule the land at gunpoint and you'd see violence like nothing you've ever seen.
No I'm happy we have all these institutions, corrupt as they are. We just need a few hundred/thousand more years to perfect them.
