    I think you’re right, he sees the US people as customers rather than employees though.

    And a Casino aims to extract as much money as possible from it’s customers.

      The fundamental flaw is that many see the people as customer or employees rather than the employers.

        Under this running metaphor, that’d translate to Communism. Which I absolutely think would be beneficial if we could just adopt it today, but I don’t think the western world as a whole is ready for that transition.

          Oh, there’s literally never a fair (or sane) shake under capitalism, especially under the inescapably inevitable “Saturn devouring his young” endgame stage we’re in. Zero arguments there.
