Stop using polysyallabic words like "proletariat" when trying to appeal to the American working class who read at a 5th grade level.

Seriously. Like the guy in Severance said. Apologize for the word. It's too long.

No no, you just have to use the right ones that they like. The "magic words" so to speak. Investors really like "economic viability" because it means they can instantly look at a company and see if they can make money off it. Politicians just so happen to be interested in a lot of the same things as investors for some reason.
