I think this always and comment on it regularly, we live in gross exorbitant excess. Every one of us has it measurably better than Rockefeller did, arguably the wealthiest man in history, just a hundred years ago. That's why I find it so excessively evil to be that rich. And they make it so hard to overcome it too, like they have enough money to push legislation, hush opposition, enable literally poisoning communities and the planet, while everyone else suffers. and some people say taxing the rich isn't an answer? then what do we have, government is the only tool that the general public has besides outright riots that gives individuals at least ideally an equal say, and can put in check the consolidation of power and money. I'm not looking to benefit, i'm saying it's super crazy shitty that others can't live as comfortably as I do because some very very very select few want to live more comfortably than could even be imagined.
