yeah exactly this -- the United States specifically rejected the class status system from Royal Europe and Vedic India, and wrote law and legal precedence to defeat "the regulation, corporate, and State people all come from the same higher classes, all went to the same schools, and eat in the same fancy restaurants in the same bourgeois districts"

human nature has developed over thousands of years at least, so is this still true? partly of course. So, make the world you want to live in.. speak in public, write, participate in civil society.. When money is involved of course there is insider dealing.. and there is legal enforcement everyday .. pick an example, the female South Asian lead Attorney for New York somewhere, a Wall Street enforcer.. look for it, easy to find.

I am all for engagement, much less for repeating stories of old problems as if nothing has changed, right?
