Mathematics and Politics.

There are many more people who are "working class" than rich. The argument is that if you take some money from a lot of people, you get more money than if you take a lot of money from some people.

There's also the argument that if everyone pitches in, the overall burden for each individual is less.

What this fails to address is that the richer you are, the more you can play with your money and end up with nothing to tax. This is why the rich get richer and the rest of us don't.

Running through all that is a thing called "trickle down economics" which claims that the money from the rich ends up in society, but recent reviews of this have proven this to be nonsense. Politicians use this as an argument for the status quo.

Finally, the rich shape the narrative. Politicians are essentially elected by the rich through their manipulation of the story through their media empires and social media platforms.

A female adult mosquito can live for a month or two, laying eggs every two to three days, between 100 and 300 eggs each time.

Also, they travel several kilometres for food - blood, so, I'm going out on a limb, but you might need to scale up your efforts if you're attempting to reduce the local population.

The Romans used bread and games to entertain the masses. Looks to me that this has been fine tuned for the past 2,000 years, only now we call it takeaway and surfing the net.

What would be much more useful is to provide a model with actual patient files and see what kills more people, doctors or models.
