The capital class wants most people to be extremely risk averse so they can take the whole upside of everything. For them ideally every bit of economic activity you do is insured by them.

The capital class has more control over politics and culture than (possibly) ever, although the dam is starting to break, as you see with more and more independent musicians, restaurants, etc. I.e. we’re close to the crest, not sure if we just passed it or are about to.
