The catch with that is everybody else suffers along with them.
It's like we're all playing a game together, and these yokles think that if they increase the difficulty level people who are just marginally getting by will suffer a lot more than they will, and they're sure that by being part of the favored team they can be exempt from the more difficult rules enitrely
Which is what they want. They have been indoctrinated to believe that the government is incapable of helping them. And if they can't get help, then nobody can.
People around the globe have been suffering under this empire for a looooong time.
