pauperized

Whatever the cause, perhaps a fitting conclusion to the false humility of a pauperized papacy.

Maybe simply pauperizing people is the right answer and keep them pauperized from some time.

Costly distant wars, pauperized middle class after very long period of growth and prosperity, sclerotic establishment in total denial that times have changes.

But then you end up in a world where most people are pauperized and no longer have any bargaining power in the face of these changes.

A cynic might say that the very same SF elite desire more brown third-world immigrants in order to ensure that their pauperized underclass doesn't look like them.

The politicians which promised its voters too much, borrowed from eager usury of the (mostly) German bankers, and thereby pauperized the nation -or- the people who were thereby fooled and taken advantage of?

If people could choose to not work and not starve/lose their home I would somewhat agree most of those picking up employment as pauperized gig workers would do so willingly.

An elite with highly paid and satisfying jobs served by a pauperized underclass of Uber drivers and mini-job holders who only have a crumbling public infrastructure to support them and no prospect of being a socially engaged citizenry.

If you draw a Gaussian surface around it, the end result is that Uber/Lyft will destroy the taxi industry (which was execrable, but put a fair amount of kids through college) and replace it with pauperized “contractors” too naive to calculate depreciation.
