Some superb questions, but I do not have the answers to all.

Inflation is rocketing here, over in PL, I wrote about it today, here https://blurt.blog/politics/@ajerkoff/unshackled-minds-perfect-lives-are-perfect-lies

"How miserable do people have to be before they don't care?"

I have no idea again, but it seems most people simply do not care, until it costs so much to live, they have no life.

And it is going to get worse before it gets better, inflation is very real, and just because a politician says we all have to pay tax, does not mean they pay any themselves, https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/ proved that. Have a great day dear lady.
