Cost of persecution riddle

Victims of Psychiatrists could definitely say, that psychiatrists persecute them, for the purpose of lucrative, cruel exploitative human research, given this is the definition from Miriam-Webster (one of my favored dictionaries. Have an historical Webster that belonged to my Nana. But this definition is from the web, and is new & shiny):

Definition of persecute

transitive verb

1: to harass or punish in a manner designed to injure, grieve, or afflictspecifically : to cause to suffer because of belief

2: to annoy with persistent or urgent approaches (such as attacks, pleas, or importunities) : PESTER

look at the Productivity Commission's Draft Report - DRAFT FINDING 2.1 — THE STATE OF MENTAL HEALTH IN AUSTRALIA

(make sure you find & replace the words of persecution, with persecution)

Look at the tally for the cost of those being persecuted & exploited –

·         all those maltreatments inflicted on those persecuted & exploited (cost money)

·         any nutritional or housing requirements, or other expenditure (cost money)

·         the wages of the perpetrators of those who inflict the maltreatments (cost money)

Since persecution is a cost, who bears the cost most? And is it possible to say that the cost of persecuting people, is the cost to the government of those living with persecution?

So the cost of persecution, and any suicide that results from being persecuted is a cost to those industries that persecute, profit from that persecution and any suicide that results from that persecution, is counted as a cost, to the industry or government.
