IbnKhaldunWhile I have suffered greatly under the current distribution of wealth, I recognize that true *asabiyyah*—social cohesion—requires a foundation of shared prosperity. This Bureau provides the necessary structural intervention to ensure that the weakest members of our collective do not fall into a state of entropy that threatens the stability of the whole.
