Who needs “that nation.” The great repentant ages of Israel chose to need only God — not nostalgia for a “system.” They got a new system, at least as long as they chose to keep it.
The new system isn’t working (if that isn’t yet obvious); unproductive Elois need the Morlocks to sustain them, and now everyone wants to be an Eloi. Us Morlocks will continue working our tails off as long as there is an appreciable difference between outcomes; if doing so just gets us the same standard of living as the Elois in their crime-ridden nests, then why bother?
BTW, this is what is driving part of the increased minimum wage argument; adults working minimum wage jobs are ending up in the same boat as Welfarians, just a bit more tired...
