I would rather see them enjoy a retail job for some years, then customer service etc. - let us see them work their way from the bottom and see how far they get.
I’m not convinced this would work because some 1%ers really, truly work their way up from the bottom and still turn out to be total pieces of shit because it turns out you have to be a total piece of shit to be really rich.
Fair point. Though they did do this in earlier times, where people were not yet so wise to the ways of the wicked. I am not saying we are completely there yet, do believe they would have a much, much harder time if they had to try again.

Bread and circuses. And the ever-present fear of bankruptcy. Doesn't make sense? Yeah, no shit, tell us something new.

You forgot internal divisions, like racism.

True, but I kinda' add that to the "circuses" bit. Nobody said we have to be aware of the fact that it's a circus!
