Quote #10
When a government comes crashing down, it crushes those who were living under its roof. (5.Prologue.8)
The people making decisions don't care if everything goes to hell in a handbasket—or any other kind of vessel. They're not the ones who have to live paycheck to paycheck making actual baskets by hand. They're the ones with power, money, and safety nets. When their decisions fail, everyone but them suffers.
