This was superb, the plot was plotted well. People ran on time and literally had time on their hands. Watching this gave me a whole new perspective on the social caste system. The Rich vs The Poor will forever be an age long battle. The Rich always win and until the system is restructured or pulled down, there will be no equality. Equality doesn’t exist, men is equal but some are more equal than others.
TIME IS POWER!
