My boss also went hard on no private calls during work time. My colleague immediately switched his work phone off at 5pm sharp because not mixing private and work. Of course soon there was an issue at 5:30pm. It was amazing how that policy got reversed so quickly.

Okay, so circuit 1 is an ever increasing circle of money > power > corruption > more money

Circuit 2 is powered by the first and grows with it: corruption > abuse > afraid to lose power > need to hide actions > scapegoating minorities + media capture > more corruption
