    Isn’t this what most Americans get in return? Teachers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, garbage men, etc. There’s no concern for what happened to people after they’ve been useful. Really strange that Americans aren’t realizing that, they just keep sitting in that situation.

    That country doesn’t belong to the people, it belongs to the people playing their GoT-esque game of politics for power and wealth.

      Yes, we are the small folk, and some are brainwashed to think the Lannisters are worthy of devotion. Most of us, though, serve others out of generosity, kindness, and decency. I don’t expect to be cared for in my old age. But I help others anyway, because it’s what we should do. And because the Lannisters won’t. Depending on how wrecked I am in my old age, i might take a Lannister with me when I go.
