Typical garbage take by the Guardian. It used to be a good paper.

And not news. This is an opinion piece/diatribe.

“When the rich are too rich there are ways, and when the poor are too poor there are ways… This is one of the ways when the poor are too poor. When the rich are too rich there is a way, and if I am not mistaken, that way will come soon.” - Pearl S. Buck
