The Toffs

Toffs, the upper class, only people with money send their children to the British “Public Schools” such as Eaton, Harrow, St. Paul's, Gordonstoun, then off to Oxford/Cambridge, to learn to drink like a gentleman, no pretense or need for scholarship, receives the gentleman's grade “C”, takes remedial classes, then returns to the family estate, and pursues hunting & fishing.

America has adopted to worst aspects of the British educational system.

Now after the “Rust Belt”, from Michigan to Pittsburgh, has been cleaned up, in the 1950's everything was covered with soot, the children of such former 'industrial' American families continue with the time honoured tradition of seeing how much money/labour they can exploit, utilising inventory schemes, and tracing everything with 'computer' input, supply only as needed, order/receive 'just in time', no need for warehousing, together with the export of productions, and these families have taken up the pursuit of, also, or a parlance with, the so-called Game Theory

Which has no semblance of sensible production methods, nor of any consideration to those affected by the economics of such methods.
