It's the "Circuses" part of "Bread and Circuses" doing exactly what it's designed to do.
This strategy has served the oligarchy for thousands of years, why change now? Goes hand in hand with the "divide and conquer" strategy.
Good question, because the Romans had an extensive welfare program to provide the Bread part of the equation, yet the current crop of idiots in change think it's a good idea to dismantle our welfare system.
