People with only a radio may actually wake up. So my guess is that a lot of the attention is going to allowing people to get back to their comforts - give them more cheap (and worthless) food and encourage cheap imports of entertainment products. If expenses in some other area skyrocket as a cause, it is less important, I guess.

We are hollow inside, so we seek to fill our lives with meaningless content in attempt to appease our needs, but no amount of trivial content like that will ever be enough.
