(32,324 posts)Of course, Orwell tried to make the point decades ago that it is inherent in the human race to want to "lord it over" others. In fact, one of his theories ws that we have the endless wars not simply so that the One Percent continues to profit, but so that the "lower humans" have their basic commodities blown to smithereens p so that they have nothing. In other words, it is just as valuable to the one Percent to know that others have nothing, as it is for them to have things. (Which is mind blowing but it seems to be shaping out that way.)
I know a long while ago, this other DU'er let me know that maybe some people had a hard time dealing with their Health Insurer, but she was the type of person who was smart enough and organized enough to persevere and get her claims presented properly and paid for. And if others couldn't, well, her attitude seemed to be that there was not only a pay off for the Big Insurer in terms of profits, but there was a payoff to her in feeling superior.
