4. That seems silly to me.

Why spend a lot of money on getting back a job that treated you in that way?

The fact that it happened means that it could easily happen again. Does one really want to be in such a stressful environment day after day? And, for what amounts to peanuts? Why keep doing that? Because we have no other choice?

Why is that, I wonder?

It seems to me that the oligarchs desire to make us believe that the only way reality itself exists is to do their bidding, and that's what is going on here.

Why are we continuing to pay along?

I guess the reality is that they do own us, eh?
