New actors and singers are sons and daughters of old actors and singers. New CEO´s are the children of old CEO´s, etc, etc. Sometimes one flies the Coop, but its pretty much a made out deal.
The only difference is they now know how to control the people with bread and games. Just enough to say ´we dont have it THAT bad right?´ They created a scapegoat that is government, while in reality corporations are pulling the strings. They are succesfully fooling 7 billion people that rich get richer and poor get poorer are the results of our own voting.
Oh wait, thats reality.
