How is political capitulation by the masses exceptional?

Covid offered a perfect opportunity for info workers to show solidarity with on-site workers by not opening those laptops at home.

But really it’s the leopards fault they keep eating our faces because we refuse to build a cage (higher taxation, breaking up monopoly).

The solution is not new either as we just went through it in recent memory with ATT.
