Ever since I read Dean Baker's 2016 book "Rigged" I realized that my success in life was as much due to my talent as to my ability to navigate the rigged system of which you speak. If one is lucky, one learns the rules and how to use them to advantage. Alas, 90% of the population either ignores the rules or actively resists their force in society. They just put on the yoke and ignore their servitude, or put on the yoke and grouse about it. In either case, they have condemned themselves to mediocrity because they concluded that they had no options. Then a prick like Trump, or Hannity, or Jone, or Beck, or Limbaugh.... comes along and exploits their fear and loathing to line their pockets - and lined they are - with platinum.
