Only the piously rich and entitled need apply for aid and access. For everyone else, our fate is ordained by Wall Street and its minions in Congress, the Senate, and the Cabinet. No public service is worthy enough and no excess too barbaric to decline.

Those who suffer and those who toil to save them are both informed they do not deserve consideration and encouraged to find more work, that it will set them free.
