Definitely. Our Hollywood view of royalty are people who do no work ever. But get to order everybody around. An buttumption is that a royal doesn't have to know anything about anything. You can see hints of this when people unpleasant woman about the rich.

I tie this incometence to lack of knowledge; never learning how to work and not knowing how stuff gets done. If you don't know how stuff gets done, you can't identify those who will do the good work; so you hire crap. Crap gets made. Eventually everything falls apart.

But that was early on.

Because nobody wanted to do it. This seems to happen with all declines.

Exactly. Remember all of the posts when unpleasant woman about salesmen who don't know what they're selling? And all those posts about consumer rather than customer?

But it's a precursor to rot.

And there is no better incentive than satisfying human greed. Greed is in the hardware. That is why we have religions and civil laws and criminal laws to moderate it.

Pay attention. Towns in the US are getting trashed when a team loses or when a team wins. The veneer of civilization is very thin. Look at the mess at your football events.

The Czar who tried to give land ownership to the people who did the labor on that land was overthrown and end and no czar ruled again. Communism is a modern way to keep peons in their place. I don't see any difference between the two except the head of the beast has been cut off in a communism polity. Some days, I think that makes more of a mess. There isn't any one person to blame nor ask for help.

Yup. Another aspect is that nothing seemed to get finished. I saw this in Egypt, too. In Egypt there's a supersbreastion about finishing a project. I never figured out Russia. One guy on our tour got really upset and started ranting about how absolutely nobody was doing any work. He was right. I kept thinking that the day was Sunday; the tour guide kept correcting me because it was weekday. Building projects were completely idle. Nobody was sweeping the sidewalks in front of stores. There was very few trucks. I don't recall anything being hauled. It was not a holiday. The only people who were working hard were the ones isolated on the square where bartering was done. No money was used unless the cops were looking away. I could have bought exquisite items with a pack of Camels. That was the best currency.

Yes. The only employer allowed is the State. That is a peon system...or do I mean serf?

It always will fail.

It's the other way around. The technology is still stuck in Peter's time frame. Most innovation was squelched because the source of ideas, theories and work was done by their "religious" enemy, the West.
