The problem is fear, compliance, cowardice and 'superiority'.

There's the loss of lucrative bonuses, their jobs, financial fear for living standards and outstanding debts. There's a fear of demotion and/or downgrading of their class and prestige.

They're putting their own gains ahead of other people's actual survival.

Many of those in senior positions will have had the privileged costly elite schooling denied the majority, giving them better grades and access to clever friends and the rungs to success. They will have had pushy parents who gave them confidence in themselves and ambition.

You can bet that daddy's money and influence opened doors and allowed them to escape the dire necessity of getting a job after school or college. Their higher education could be afforded, or they could manage with just a part-time job.

And I don't give a toss about stories of those exceptions who'll claim they pulled themselves out of the gutter all by themselves with merit and genius.

I sense as a result of all this, but I do NOT excuse it, that there's a terrifyingly superior elite attitude that imagines itself as being above we, the common people, who are seen as being a over-populated and expendable. We are then perceived as stupid, fat, annoying and a cause of more workload and expense for them and the country, or we've lived too long.

We have here a Nazi style mentality deliberately steered by their superiors, mentors and by medical cut-backs. From here we get those in charge, at whatever level, deciding who lives and who should die.

The elderly, the mentally or physically damaged, including those nearly born. Those with cheap clothes, those who went to crumby schools, those who live in poor areas, have lower class accents. . .whatever the red flag to a bull 'reason.'

They may have protocols and tick boxes to shift guilt, an attitude of 'Well, they weren't much use anyway, or they'd had long enough,' or maybe their boss had scorned any kindness, morality, expense costs. And there was money to be made, of course. These are all excuses.

We should not pretend these people are any different in mindset to the T4 Nazi program killers. The method may be different in some cases, but the parallels are there.

And they knew it wasn't right, even with all the inhuman blind eyes within their profession, the law, the government and the rest. That's why they hide things, lie, deny, attack critics, pretend the science, don't look for any evidence, feign righteousness and use evasive scams with the law. It stinks to high heaven of the evil it was, and more and more of us are seeing it.

We must recall that the top 5 professions that attract sociopaths are:

Wall St executives, policemen, lawyers, journalists and surgeons.

Nobody, repeat nobody, with psychopathology, sociopathology or narcissism should ever get into positions of power, especially where looking after the public is concerned. We should screen for them and weed them out, and put all our resources into those who aren't. And if they takes longer to train some of them, isn't that better than what we have?

And we should also ban anyone in secretive clubs etc. Man cannot have two masters. Anyone caught should be imprisoned and fined.

And we should ban all lobbying and call it out for what it is. Bribery and corruption.
