 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
