the rules of the universe involve a protocol: that certain disclosure must take place before the complacent might be gouged. Thence the organ of the state media divulging certain aspects, as it were. The modicum of justice is that irregardless of how wealthy a minority might become, their incompetence will eventually cause their money to become worthless.

documentaries are doctors for the mind; ergo doc u mentory …
Great documentary, not a fan of the title either because I originally thought it was some nonsense about “living large” or something. Is it really unbiased to simply state the facts as they are? Its the ridiculous way that most media outlets try to provide “bias” when in reality the other side doesn’t have any evidence and it just confuses the viewer “the sky is blue! No it isnt!”.
the sky is blew …
Why does the title have to be the Super-Rich and Us? Is the audience purposely for what the BBC deems as the lower classes? I mean the documentary tries to be unbiased, but that’s pure bullshit when you talk about the BBC.
