Not too long ago, I came to a realization: the government is incentivized to make life more expensive for us so that we need to make more money to live comfortably. If we make more money, then the government gets more income tax revenue, especially in a progressive tax system. So they keep upping our property taxes and sales taxes and other types of taxes in order to ensure that we get second jobs to give them more income taxes, too.
Ironically, the plandemic lockdowns enabled a lot of people, deemed "nonessential workers," to spend a lot of time at home, myself included. After the short, but stupid "Netflix era" (since cancelled forever) ended, I started doing research online because I had time on my hands. One topic led to another.... and I woke up. And I'll never be the same.

Working so hard keeps everyone too busy to question things too. The gov does not want clever people with time on their hands.
