 The government will literally fine you £60 for not paying £2 for parking. They will fine or imprison you for incorrectly reporting your taxes.

But at the same time they locked the world down and handed everyone money because of a crisis they created, and most people were like "man this is great, they actually care about us" instead of being like "you printed 4 trillion because your ponzi was illiquid and you conned doctors to murder those eligible for their pensions because you already stole that money too."

They waved a few grand at people and it worked... And those people spent that money and gave it back to the bankers anyway.

And today we still have people walking around in masks and injecting themselves with a bioweapon tainted with SV40.

Anyway... GM

 And this is when you realize you don't own anything. 
If you don't pay the 60£ fine, they will seize your house and your car. Everything you own doesn't belong to you. 
 Part of why I believe it is important not to get attached to material possessions.
