it is often said —by assholes— that vast income disparity is not a horrible thing. the assumption is that if we all get wealthy enough that we can all rest comfortably. that is obviously NOT true. 100% of the population cannot ever live off of trust funds and dividends. that would leave 0% of the population growing food, 0% of the population making products and 0% of the population providing services.
it IS a fucking zero sum game and only part of the population can win it.
