But wait!! This happened -- to a family member of the political class?! That's not supposed to happen!! That is wrong!! Oh, someone is going to pay for this! You do not mess with the political elite!! They will crush you, you peasant!
This times 1000. It’s happening everyday and it’s only a story with the priviledged classes are affected. As long as it’s just the serfs is business as usual.
I have always said that they make laws when tragedy befalls them much quicker than when the plebs are forced to suffer the same fate for usually a much longer period of time.
Egregious violations like this go on until someone that matters (political elites) are forced to deal with the consequences of bad policy/law directly.
