This was a topic that made more of a splash 15-17 years ago, I'm really surprised it hasn't been brought up more since then as our continued growth makes us underrepresented even more.
Ah, but you assume they represent all people. They represent some people, the ones called corporations, and they do so quite well. In fact, we could probably do with less servants, as just a few could serve all those $$ masters.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
