It could all be related to a deficiency at the lower level of the pyramid, quote:
If these "deficiency needs" are not met – except for the most fundamental (physiological) need – there may not be a physical indication, but the individual will feel anxious and tense.
Some could argue it is by design in capitalism and how the ruling class is keeping hold of the working people. It is how the poor stay poor because they seldom manifest "higher level" needs of esteem and self-actualisation for long periods of time to be able to progress in their field.Last edited by GigiBronz; 5 October 2020, 10:36.Comment

The online self-serve 'Time to Pay' service, has been increased to £30,000 for Self Assessment customers, to help ease any potential financial burden they may be experiencing due to the coronavirus pandemic.Comment
